  • Henry Armstrong fought at Catchweight?

    I read a thread just now about comparing Manny Pacquiao to Henry Armstrong:

    http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=409477

    ^read this first^

    A poster has claimed that Armstrong Fought at catchweights:

    and I just looked up the WW title fights Armstrong has had
    you'll have to name the fights that happened at a catch-weight, because there's no indication there that there were catch-weights, and many of those fights happened at the full division limit with his opponents coming in near 147

    provide evidence please
    or else it didn't happen

    It's on the front page of his Boxrec stats as well.

    If you need more "proof" then that, the fact that both men weighed just a shade under 140 for the welterweight, I will dig for more proof. However, I think I've already proven conclusively that Hank fought title fights at catchweights.
    I posted this in the history section so I could read some thoughts from people who are familiar with Armstrong career.

      That's a silly claim by that poster. Jenkins vs Armstrong were not for the title either time.

        Why don't you just post in that thread instead of making another thread about it? ******

                    Look at the time they was both posted, this one was first, that is if you're referring to the other Armstrong catch weight thread in history section anyway.

                    Otherwise he obviously just wanted to know what History section thought of it.
