    What lightweight champs wouldn't fight davey day!

    Davey day sent armstrong to the hospital, with a gashed left eye (4 stitches) broken right hand, badly bruised right hand.cut up left side of face and lip. Ref. Stopped the fight in the 12th rd with 11 seconds left and told armstrong " you can rest now" has he placed his arm around days should as he was getting up and awarded armstrong a tko. Day went home to chicago with a bruised right eye. Hank was offered $35,000 to fight day in a rematch, he turned it down. Lou ambers also was offered $35,000 to fight day for his title, he said no thanks, knowing day beat him nearly knocking him out and losing the fight split decision. Day would have been champion in 1934 if he wasn't in the same stable with barney ross. Everybody who knows anything about boxing knows that. Tony canzoneri, ducked davey, jenkins, zivic who day pumbled in 1930 wouldn't fight day. Instantly, there is some vintage pic and exhibit card on ebay right now, if interested seller is-goldstarstamps.
    Have a nice day.
