Roberto Duran-Henry Armstrong.

[Expug]

15 rounds at 147.

I got ranked the great Henry Armstrong as the greatest boxer of all-time, but, even at his very best, he would have been perfect for the great Roberto Duran.

It would be a phone booth warfare that for sure. Duran by split decision.

Duran- clear on points.

I just might take Duran close at 147. At 135 I'd pick Armstrong to win.

Armstrong had quite a bit more success at the Championship level as a Welterweight than Duran did. Though none of his wins were as good as Leonard, he was a significantly more dominant Champion in that weight class.

If I'm not mistaken the record for most defenses of the Welterweight title belongs to Henry Armstrong right?

Yes. For example, Henry Armstrong in the year 1939 had 11 title defenses alone. Three of them in one month. He was an unbelievable fighter.
