Armstrong's championship years were 1937-1941 so surely he belongs in the 1937-1962 category?

You are right thanks for pointing that out.

I think this era is the best ever in terms of how many truely great fighters there were.. 60s,70s, and 80s were the peak of boxing IMO

And good choice for canto, forgot about him.. I need to take Azumah off my list and add him

It would be interesting to get more feedback on a comparisons of each era's
