The greatest pound for pound of All-time: Henry Armstrong

There have been too many legends throughout history too give Robinson this distinction automatically. Most people do this and dont consider other all-time greats before him, his contemporaries, or those who fought after him. Most look at him as the golden standard as being the best pound for pound, and for good reason.

In my honest opinion, I believe he is top three but the greatest fighter of all-time is Homicide Hank Armstrong.

. He fought middleweight champion Ceferino Garcia to a draw in a fight many thought that he had won. So that is a possible four weight classes he could have claimed the championship in. Not only this he did so without having the prototype p4p style, he was an all action swarmer, with impressive handspeed, very sharp puncher, deceptive reflexes and an underrated defense.

what do you guys think??

 

Yeah size may have something to do with it but Armstrong held titles from 126-147 and has the most defenses all-time(20) at welterweight where people consider Robinson to be the G.O.A.T. coming from a guy that started below 126 lbs. and defending at 147lbs. that a great feat. Whereas Robinson won titles at two weights.

 

I had that on VHS as a couple years ago, I must agree....the guy embodied pound for pound to the t.
