Benny Leonard versus Henry Armstrong

[goose 5]

135 pounds, 15 rounds.

[Seamus]

The two best lightweights of alltime. I could honestly see this ending in a draw.

I agree. It would likely look like it should be a draw.

One or the other might get the SD or MD based on the location of the bout.

Not sure if there would be any knockdowns.

Leonard was heavier handed, so he might score a knockdown.

Armstrong was the physically stronger of the two, so he would be mostly the aggressor.

Leonard had the definitive Edge with defensive fundamentals and counter-punching.

I see Leonard being/forced to be the Matador, vs the bull like style of Armstrong. He was even more of a Raging Bull in style
Than LaMotta.

I think that Armstrong would have Way More frustration than usual, and Leonard would have to fight and move around
Way More than usual. They'd Both be demanding Alot More Money for a prospective rematch.
