    Blackzilla , Kid Bengala , Sean Michaels and Mandingo probably , every hoe had 2 get past them .

    simultaneously of course .

    there were some occasions in which Mandingo was replaced by Mr. Marcus or Bengala was replaced by Byron Long

    I'm not too sure about the wikipedia article including Elmer Ray among them though.

    Yeah. The article also mentions Ezz as one of the HW's Burley faced and fails to mention Armstrong amongst the champions that didn't give them a shot.

    Jackson was not really a featherweight fighting welterweights , d vast majority of his opponents that mattered at welterweight were 4mer or current lightweights themselves .

    D real welterweights he either ducked / was carried by or gotten stopped or beat by .

    Not a big shame 4 a LW 2 get beat by them but he was not a legitimate welterweight titlist and neither was Zivic whom beat him and ducked d row as a titlist as well . Then came WSJ whom kept loyalty 2d tradition of ducking d row .

    I think Armstrong might have naturally been a junior welterweight or early in his career.a super featherweight. But he was never a big welterweight.

    Ceferino.Garcia was a natural welter type guy.
