Henry Armstrong : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Armstrong
Henry Jackson Jr. (December 12, 1912, Columbus, Mississippi – October 22, 1988, Los Angeles, California) was an American professional boxer and a world boxing champion who fought under the name Henry Armstrong. He is regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all time by many boxing critics and fellow professionals. Henry Jr. was a boxer who not only was a member of the exclusive group of fighters that have won boxing championships in three or more different divisions (at a time when there were only 8 universally recognized World Titles), but also has the distinction of being the only boxer to hold three world championships at the same time, holding the featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight world titles for a brief period in 1938. Armstrong defended his welterweight title nineteen times. In 2007, ''The Ring'' ranked Armstrong as the second-greatest fighter of the last 80 years. Bert Sugar also ranked Armstrong as the second-greatest fighter of all time. ==Early life== A native of Columbus, Mississippi, Armstrong was born December 12, 1912 and moved as a youngster with his family to St. Louis, Missouri, where he developed his boxing skills. He was the son of Henry Jackson Sr., a sharecropper of African American, Irish and Native American descent and America Jackson, who was Native American (Iroquois). Armstrong graduated from Vashon High School and was later inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame. Armstrong's two nicknames were ''Hurricane Henry'' and ''Homicide' Hank''.
