    Did Henry Armstrong Ever Fought Weight Drained Fighters??

    Just Curious.

    I'll admit I don't know too much info from those times compared to the current and 2 previous decades.

              Armstrong once fought in a catchweight fight himself, against the lightweight champion Lew Jenkins. He had to come in at 140 but he made the weight easily and knocked out Jenkins.

                you cant compare the past to present.
                before, they hang you if they believe you practice witchcraft. today, they will not hang you if they believe you practice witchcraft.
