Does not matter. Armstrong owned nearly 40% of all the available true world titles at that time. He beat the one and only true champion in every case. Will never be matched in a world where there are double the amount of divisions with 4-5 potential champions in every division. It’s a fully watered down boxing world the last 30 plus years. Easy to be called a champion with so many contenders holding paper titles.

Again it does not matter. Armstrong owned 40% of all the world championships that were available at the same time. He did not beat contenders holding fake paper titles. He best the true champion each time.
Winning multiple titles when their are 15-20 of them is far easier than when their is three.
No black man in the 30’s had an easy time of it. Mobs and the KKK were still hanging black people in America at that time.
- -Got a newsflash for yer Yankee Doodle Dandy, New York has a history of lynching black folk, and most of the lynching were done out west by posse comitas on the hunt for rustlers and other white n'er do wells , half being transplanted Yankees!
Armstrong a personal fav of mine whose era technical exploits still hold gravitas, but Manny of another dimension entirely never seen before.
Now, out west in them Wild and wooly days, weren't no warning signs to dismount from your high horse, so your chances then were slim and none.
