Held the featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight titles simultaneously... and fought at middleweight. Quite possibly the greatest fighter of all time!

And that was when there were only eight division with one belt a piece. He was the best in almost half the divisions. Plus he would have had the middleweight belt as well if not for a draw with the champ. I don't think there will ever be a fighter that could pull that off again.

Correction. He "Fought a Middleweight",Ceferino Garcia,who himself would've been a Junior Middleweight in todays world of boxing. When they fought in 1940,Garcia weighed 153(MW back then was 148-160),while Armstrong weighed in at 142 for that bout.

Yeah I was a little disappointed with that. I thought he would be more dynamic, but his rigid style of wearing down opponents is not much different than Joe Frazier. That style would be vulnerable to an opponent that fights like the powerful George Foreman who chopped Frazier down in the early rounds or Muhammad Ali who won several wars of attrition with Joe.

Sorry but you’re wrong, it may look like he fight like Frazier but Frazier was never that busy with his punches, he bobbed and weaved and that gave him the illusion that he was doing more than he actually was ( I LOVE FRAZIER BTW) Armstrong on the other hand is relentless at all times

@@kiddynamite8996 Agreed, calling a fighter commonly referred to as a hurricane, perpetual motion and a dynamo, undynamic, demonstrates a profound and fundamental lack of boxing understanding. Armstrong was a completely dynamic fighter. The way he used his entire body as both offensive and defensive tools is unmatched in boxing history. There aren't any modern fighters who can use their head and shoulders to manipulate their opponent the same way Armstrong did. It was completely dynamic and utterly amazing. He would be equally effective today as he was back then because of his uniquely dynamic abilities.

From watching this video, I didn't realize how slow and rigid he was. He uses that methodical head first crouching crab like style that Joe Frazier is famous for. I think Manny Pacquaio is a more dynamic pressure fighter than Henry Armstrong using angles and different styles with more head and foot movement. Because of this I actually think Pacquaio is the greatest pressure fighter of all time winning 8 championship titles in 8 different weight divisions.

@@christopherknight3942 Armstrong was pretty one sided in his tactics, for him there was only way to fight and that was moving forward. There was a lot of subtle technique in his work though, such as the way his lowered head position not only made him a harder target for straight punches at long range, it also allowed him to push his head into his opponents chest when up close to both smother punches and momentarily destroy their stance. Also, Armstrong was pretty dynamic in his own way. His modus operandi was moving forward, but he wasn't easy to hit most of the time due to his constant head movement and smothering up close. Talking about mythical matchups between atg's, I'd favor Armstrong against some but not all (Especially in the welterweight division, since he was such a small guy that I'd pick a lot of other boxers to beat him due to size alone)

@@surveying482 You seem to forget that the only reason Armstrong fought SRR was because he was broke and Robinson gave him the fight just to help him out because he was one of his idols. He had already 130 fights under his belt and only fought on because of money trouble, so to mention that SRR beat Armstrong is close to meaningless. It's not just who you beat, but when you beat them. Had SRR fought Armstrong in his prime, everyone agrees, the fight would have been close, and the outcome might turn on what weight class the fight was at. And none of the fighters you mentioned, Leonard, Hearns, Mayweather, or Whitaker, would have been able to beat Armstrong at 126, not even close. I'm not sure if any of them even fought at 126 as professionals. So it's not as simple as you put it. Also, what fighters dealt him a lot of damage at featherweight and lightweight?
