What if Henry Armstrong had won the middleweight championship?
Most ringsiders felt that Armstrong had clearly won his fight against Middleweight champion Ceferino Garcia. Had he won that would he had dared go for another title higher up? The light heavyweight champion at the time was Billy Conn. But if I feel that it would be a huge mismatch. So I chose a weaker and shorter 1941 champion in Anton Christoforidis. Does Armstrong stand a chance?

Conn wasn't a big light heavyweight..however I think that might have been to big a task...

No, obviously Hank had no fear but Garcia at 60 was ideal for the shot there.
