    Peak for peak, Armstrong.

    I appreciate triangle theories are far from definitive, but results against common opponents can give some insight. The great Barney Ross edged Tony twice in close ones at LW, whilst he was dominated by an 8.5lbs lighter Armstrong who was just entering his peak.

    Agreed. But Canzoneri could fight like hell and his movement could give Armstrong some problems.
