Both fighters almost had similar styles. They were boxing whirlwinds that never stopped throwing punches.

Who wins this fight between these two action-packed champions? The Cincinnati Hawk or Homicide Hank?

I like Pryor in this one. Decision. He was the better boxer and the harder puncher, shot for shot, imo.

Homicide Hank would outslug the Hawk to take a decision at lightweight which wasn't the prime fighting weight for Pryor, but at super lightweight or junior welterweight, the Hawk may outfought Armstrong to take a decision as fighting at 140lbs was Pryor's prime fighting weight in the division.

Ironically, both fighters won 27 and 26 straight fights by knockout, respectively.

Henry Armstrong scored 27 in one year alone in 1937.
Aaron Pryor scored 26 from 1977 to 1983.

I'd have to favor Armstrong here just based on the amount of Championship success both had, and how much more of it Armstrong had.

Would've been an awesome slugfest. A stoppage is pretty likely just because with the pace these 2 are going to fight at something's gotta give.

I think Armstrong would get him in the Championship rounds of a 15 rounder.

Armstrong by UD in a hotly contested battle.
