Armstrong won 4 world titles. Middleweight title from Ceferino Garcia in a match that had the special rule that Armstrong would have to KO Garcia to win. He didn't KO him but won almost every round.

God I love Sugar Ray! It breaks my heart when I'm reminded that he lost to Maxim due to heat exhaustion! Why was there no rematch?! Such a shame.

1. It didn't do as well financially as it was expected to do, and,
2. The support for Archie Moore within the sport had gotten to the point that it was a fight that had to be made.

The way in which the Referee had to be changed in was it the 10th, amazes me the most...compare the activity of the fighters to the ref, and he still had to be taken out. SRR was a monster! Peroid.

If Ray had beaten Joey, Archie Moore would not have had to sign away part of his purses to Maxim and the filthy Doc Kearns. What were the parameters of that deal anyway? Did he owe a percentage as long as he was champion or was it for the duration of his boxing life?Last edited by The Old LefHook; 06-01-2015, 12:44 AM.
