Henry Jackson Jr. (December 12, 1912 in Columbus, Mississippi – October 22, 1988 in Los Angeles, California) was an American professional boxer and a world boxing champion who fought under the name Henry Armstrong. He is regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all time by many boxing critics and fellow professionals.
Henry Jr. was a boxer who not only was a member of the exclusive group of fighters that have won boxing championships in three or more different divisions (at a time when there were only 8 universally recognized World Titles), but also has the distinction of holding three world championships at the same time, consisting of the featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight world titles for a brief period in 1938. Armstrong defended his welterweight title nineteen times.
In 2007, The Ring ranked Armstrong as the second-greatest fighter of the last 80 years. Bert Sugar also ranked Armstrong as the second-greatest fighter of all time.
Early life
A native of Columbus, Mississippi, Armstrong was born December 12, 1912 and moved as a youngster with his family to St. Louis, Missouri, where he developed his boxing skills. He was the son of Henry Jackson Sr., a sharecropper of African American, Irish and Native American descent and America Jackson, who was Native American (Iroquois). Armstrong graduated from Vashon High School and was later inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame. Armstrong's two nicknames were Hurricane Henry and Homicide' Hank.
He umpired one Test match in 1931 between Australia and the West Indies at Sydney on 27 February to 4 March 1931. In this match, in which the West Indies gained their first win over Australia, he was partnered by Walter French.
"What irked me to no end was that the German population in the area would tell us that they didn't know what was going on in the camps, ... I don't believe that for a minute. We knew what we were going to see. How could they not know?"
Highlights of the greatest pressure fighter of all time. Homicide Hank at his best!

http://www.modernmartialartist.com/downloads/footwork-wins-fights/ In the days when there were only 8 weight classes, Henry Armstrong held championship belts in three of them at the same time. Armstrong was in many ways the complete prototype of a pressure fighter. He had so many tools in his arsenal that nearly any fighter could watch him and take something away. He gained the respect and praise of boxers as stylistically diverse as Sugar Ray Robinson and Jack Dempsey, with Dempsey proclaiming that there would never be another like him. Armstrong was crafty, pulling off brilliant traps before smoothly weaving out of harm's way. But he was also brutal, once earning a streak of 27 knockouts in a row.
What was it about his style that earned Armstrong his legendary reputation and earned him so much admiration among his peers?
First and foremost, Armstrong was a master at controlling his opponents posture, balance, and positioning. I talk a lot about how fighters use footwork to maneuver themselves into superior angles, but an equally important element to fighting is the ability to maneuver the opponent in inferior angles. In other words, Armstrong didn’t so much move himself into a good position as move his opponents into a bad one.

Henry Jackson Jr. (December 12, 1912 in Columbus, Mississippi – October 22, 1988 in Los Angeles, California) was an American professional boxer and a world boxing champion who fought under the name Henry Armstrong. He is regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all time by many boxing critics and fellow professionals.
Henry Jr. was a boxer who not only was a member of the exclusive group of fighters that have won boxing championships in three or more different divisions (at a time when there were only 8 universally recognized World Titles), but also has the distinction of holding three world championships at the same time, consisting of the featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight world titles for a brief period in 1938. Armstrong defended his welterweight title nineteen times.
In 2007, The Ring ranked Armstrong as the second-greatest fighter of the last 80 years. Bert Sugar also ranked Armstrong as the second-greatest fighter of all time.
Early life
A native of Columbus, Mississippi, Armstrong was born December 12, 1912 and moved as a youngster with his family to St. Louis, Missouri, where he developed his boxing skills. He was the son of Henry Jackson Sr., a sharecropper of African American, Irish and Native American descent and America Jackson, who was Native American (Iroquois). Armstrong graduated from Vashon High School and was later inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame. Armstrong's two nicknames were Hurricane Henry and Homicide' Hank.
