    Ray Miller, had a left hook that could turn fights completely around. Hardly mentioned today.

    Both stop him IMO. They're too accurate and he's too chinny.

    Davey Moore was fantastic, and a good friend, close association with Davey Day, who Armstrong, and Ambers wouldn't fight in a rematch.

    Davey Day is one guy nobody wanted to fight. Henry Armstrong was a damaged goods, in getting the referee in the 12th rd. Looked at Armstrong's bloody face and said, "you can rest now." Stopped the fight with 12 seconds left in the 12th rd. giving Hank TKO. They had to carry Armstrong out of the ring still wearing his crown. GOOGLE Henry Armstrong vs. Davey Day - Davey Day nailing Lou Ambers.
