Henry Armstrong vs Roberto Duran

[OBCboxer]

Who wins a two fight series at Lightweight and Welterweight?

[Joe E]

There are only 2 Men who in the history of the Light Weight division that I would even consider betting with against Duran. One is Benny Leonard the other is Armstrong. Henry had the heart, chin, and punch to compete with Duran at this weight. His weakness of course was his tendency to bleed. This could turn into a Zivic - Armstrong affair, with both Men pulling every dirty trick in the book. I would give this one to Duran by a shade based on Henrys' suseptability to cut and because of Durans better defensive skills.

Duran SD.

Duran was the far more technically skilled of the two, and would out-point and out-skill Armstrong throughout enough of the bout to take the decision over 15, but rest assured Armstrong would take his share of rounds based purely on his non-stop workrate while Duran was in a more coasting mode. 10-5 type decision for Duran in a barn-burner.

Duran on points or late round TKO.
