    I think Armstrong was down in his debut and that was it.

    Armstrong was decked in the 15th and final round vs Fritzie Zivic in 1941 when Zivic won the title.

    Langford was down more than you think in a very long career.

    Yes Armstrong was unbelievable !! Langford had a great chin but not a great reach for fighting heavyweights all the time
