Henry was as great a lightweight as he was a welterweight. He and Lou Ambers fought two of the greatest fights in lightweight history. Armstrong held the lightweight crown for only one year but he was defending several other crowns at the same time.

144(97)-22-8

Welterweight Champion 1938-1940. Featherweight Champion 1937-1938; Lightweight Champion 1938-1939. Ranks as one of the greats in all of boxing. The only fighter ever to hold three championships simultaneously. Armstrong went from a street fighter to a gym fighter to the triple championships using the same style at each stop. Armstrong abided by the old saw that the best defense was a good offense. He hit hard and often. He actually came close to winning a fourth crown and would have been the only one to do it. He put on some weight and fought middleweight title holder Ceferino Garcia to a 10 round draw. Henry retired and became an ordained minister of the Baptist Church.

Armstrong was trained by Al Silvani,and during the latter
part of Armstrong's career he was joined by Ray Arcel late
in Henry's title run.

Armstrong, pound-for-pound, could have beaten Ray Robinson on a given night I believe. At his very best, he was incredible.
