Henry Armstrong had a 151-21-9 record in his 15-year professional career. With his aggressive attitude and incessant windmill style, he was all over opponents, as evidenced by his 101 knockouts and his nickname of Homicide Hank [via ESPN]. Many people, including @teddy_atlas, view Armstrong as the greatest boxer of all time. #Boxing #Boxeo #RBRBoxing #RoundByRoundBoxing #HammerinHank #HomicideHank #HenryArmstrong #BlackHistoryMonth #AmericanHistory #BoxingHistory #Champion #TripleCrown https://www.instagram.com/p/CK9QTdolJfn/?igshid=5c0sqqyfjb2j

20 of the Greatest Boxing Champs of All Time!

20 of the Greatest Boxing Champs of All Time!

Is there any sport more invigorating than professional boxing? The sport pits man against man with nothing between them but a pair of gloves and the power of their fists. Today we decided to look back over the careers of 20 of the greatest boxing champions of all time. Does your favorite make the list?

20. Stanley Ketchel

We’ll kick off our list by going old school and talking about the Polish boxer Stanley Ketchel. Ketchel scored the nickname ‘Michigan Assassin’ after he scored the Middleweight World Championship title at only 21 years old. Ketchel would defend his title 11 different times over a three year span. Ketchel was as bankable as prime home loans before the real estate bubble. Ketchel was shot and killed when he was just 24 years old, so who knows how good he could have been.

19. Mike Tyson

Now we are on to the incomparable Mike Tyson. Tyson is a tough boxer to rate and you’ll find many critics mirror that opinion. For a moment in time Tyson was one of the most dominant boxers in the world. His mix of power and fury was unmatched. However, much like bad credit car loans, his sloppy style quickly caught up to him and he was gone as quick as he arrived.

18. Joe Calzaghe

Calzaghe is retired now but during his prolific run (46 – 0) he was one of the most underrated fighters in the world. Calzaghe has the pleasure of owning the longest run as a Super Middleweight Champion in the history of the title — having held the title for an entire decade. Calzaghe is enjoying his retirement now and we doubt he’ll have trouble scoring car loans online with all of those victories.

17. Lennox Lewis

Lewis was dominant during his run as a highly revered heavyweight. Nicknamed ‘The Lion’, Lewis went 41 – 2 – 1 during his career — knocking out 32 opponents. Lewis was loved for his complex style of fighting and he lived up to the hype in the ring. Lennox is the last undisputed heavyweight champ in the history of the sport. He famously beat Tyson, Holyfield, Rahman and Klitschko.

16. Joe Frazier

When you beat Muhammad Ali in a bout then you get some much needed respect. Frazier was known for his terrifying left hook and his constant, energetic barrage of fists. Frazier lost some big bouts and he may be over hyped but we still like him at #16.

15. George Foreman

Foreman may be more known for his kitchen appliances but there was a point in time where Foreman was a terrifying presence in the ring. Foreman is most well known for becoming the oldest heavyweight champion in the history of professional boxing. Foreman came back after 10 years to grab the title.

14. Mickey Walker

Walker was so much more than a great boxer as he was an artist and a great golfer. Walker was the lightest challenger for the Light Heavyweight title in the sport. He’s most well known for holding the Middleweight Championship from ’26 to ’31.

13. Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Mayweather Jr. is the only active fighter on our list and he is as divisive now as ever. Mayweather has scored victories over Cotto, Maidana, Pacquaio, and De La Hoya in his career. Mayweather is 49 – 0 in his career with 26 career knockouts.

12. Rocky Marciano

Marciano dominated the heavyweight boxing division from 1947 to 1955. During that time span Marciano would beat up on Archie Moore, Joe Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott and more. Marciano was undefeated in his career as a heavyweight champion. He went 49 – 0 with 43 knock outs.

11. Joe Gans

Jump into the wayback machine to read about Joe Gans. Gans is widely regarded as one of the greatest lightweights of all time. Known as the ‘Old Master’, Gans competed from 1891 to 1909 and he was the first African American World Champion in the 20th century. Gans held his title from 1902 to 1903 and 1906 to 1908.

10. Evander Holyfield

During his career Holyfield was the ‘Real Deal’. Holyfield was considered small for the heavyweight class but he sure punched above his size. Holyfield would go on to score huge wins over Mike Tyson and George Foreman. Holyfield may be a tad overrated by the general populous thanks to his name recognition but we dig him all the same.

9. Sam Langford

Talk about underrated! Most average boxing fans don’t even know who Sam Langford is – even ESPN refer to him as the “Greatest Fighter Nobody Knows”. Langford is one of the greatest fighters in the history of the game going 256 – 32 in his career. Langford was the World Colored Heavyweight Champion.

8. Jack Dempsey

Dempsey was the face of the sport back in the ’20s thanks to his good looks and natural charisma. Dempsey was a hard hitter who was known for his fast striking skills. Through his career Dempsey would go 65 – 6 – 11. Dempsey held the World Heavyweight title from 1919 to 1926.

7. Benny Leonard

You’re pretty good when you are known for holding the lightweight championship for longer than anyone who has ever fought in the sport. Leonard came from the Manhattan slums where he fought on the streets until he could make it to the pro’s. Leonard landed the lightweight title in 1917 and he held it until he retired in 1925. Leonard would return in 1929 and win another 18 bouts.

6. Willie Pep

Pep boxed for an incredible 26 years, racking up 229 – 11 – 1 record throughout that period of time. Pep even survived a horrible plane crash halfway through his career and he still managed to make a comeback. Pep was extraordinarily fast and remembered for his world class defense. Legend has it that Pep won a match without throwing a punch.

5. Sugar Ray Robinson

Sugar Ray Robinson is the reason that the pound for pound class system was put into place. Robinson is probably the best pound for pound fighter to ever compete. Robinson landed the welterweight title in 1946 until 1951 when he decided to jump up to the middleweight division. Robinson went 122 – 1 through his first 123 fights.

4. Henry Armstrong

Armstrong pushed the limits of the boxing world during his career. Armstrong landed a world champion in tree weight divisions and he held all three titles at the same time. Armstrong landed the featherweight title in 1937, the welterweight in 1938 and the lightweight that same year. Armstrong went 15 – 2 against world champions.

3. Roberto Duran

Duran is known as one of the greatest fighters over the past 100 years — and for good reason. Duran had a career that spanned five decades after starting in 1968 and retiring in 2001. Duran was known as the ‘Hands of Stone’ and he was one of the most vicious fighters to compete. Duran held just about every title he competed for: lightweight, light middleweight, welterweight, and middleweight.

2. Joe Louis

Louis is as much a boxing hero as he has a national hero. Louis came from a poor family to turn into a world renown star. Louis’s first win came against Max Baer, a boxer so strong that he had killed a man. Louis landed the heavyweight title in 1937 and he was part of the ��Fight of the Decade’ against German’s Max Schmeling. Louis held his world heavyweight title for 11 years, defending it 25 times.

1. Muhammad Ali

Ali is the greatest fighter of all time and his legacy will always be solidified on these lists. Ali reigned during the Golden Era of boxing — beating opponents like Floyd Patterson, Ken Norton, Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman. Ali is the only three time Heavyweight World Champion in the history of the sport.

Some think boxer, Henry Armstrong aka Homicide Hank was the greatest Native American hybrid athlete to ever dance in the ring. He managed to fight more than 400 fights before retiring. In due time, I, The Hitman will remember my history and help bring the proud of boxing back to the global spotlight but most importantly, administer hope to my Native Americans! I am proud to be Creek Indian (Muscogee Nation/Mayan Indian) Get ready for kombat! -cs

[roundbyroundboxing]

Henry Jackson Jr., aka Melody Jackson aka "Hammerin' Hank" aka "Homocide Hank," and better known as Henry Armstrong, is arguably the greatest Welterweight in boxing history. He holds the record for the most consecutive title defenses in the Welterweight division with 19. The Ring ranked Armstrong as the second-greatest fighter of the last 80 years and boxing historian Bert Sugar ranked Armstrong as the second-greatest fighter of all time. Armstrong won championships in three different divisions at a time when there were only eight universally recognized divisions. In 1938, Armstrong became the Featherweight, Welterweight and Lightweight world champion in a 10-month span. He is the only boxer to ever hold three undisputed championships in three different divisions simultaneously. Armstrong retired with a record of 151-21-9, 101 KOs. ====================================== #Boxing #Boxeo #RoundByRoundBoxing #RBRBoxing #BoxingNews #BlackHistoryMonth #Champion #Box #Boxen #BoxingHistory #BlackAthletes #Lineal #HanmerinHank #HomocideHank #HenryArmstrong #Welterweight #AllTime #HankArmstrong

(7 of 7) Special SHOUTOUT to Dean @deanwato @cannon_briggs Dean provided the Shannon The Cannon" Briggs footage! 👍 #LETSGOCHAMP A liver shot or liver punch is a punch, kick, or knee strike to the right side of the rib cage that damages the liver. Blunt force to the liver can be excruciatingly painful, and an especially effective shot will incapacitate a person. Thus, in combat sports, liver shots often result in technical knockouts (TKOs). @childofinfinite @cypher_box @danielsmith619 @levitonthemattc @@ultimate_artworks @teambatmanboxing @hardcoreboxing2000 @19_all_in_89 @jenesismilanagency @viking.kaiser @boxinghighlights @royjonesjr.fans @technique2training #livershot #bodypunch #chavezsr #joefrazier #rockymarciano #mickyward #moralesvsbarrera #rickyhatton #thebodysnatcher #pacman #miguelcotto #jakelamotta #henryarmstrong ##boxinggreats (at Redondo Beach, California)
