Boxrec have him born December 1909, making him 3 years older than the traditional accounts. Bob Mee seems to have been the discoverer of information that produced this revision. A four-month old baby Henry appears on the census for 1910. Apparently this is pretty old news now, Mee wrote about it back in 2010. [url]http://boxrec.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=127895[/url] This is fairly significant. It means : *Henry Armstrong was 27 (just six weeks shy of his 28th b'day) when he won the featherweight title from Pete Sarron. *And he defended the welterweight title several times at age 30. The revised dates also show him to be ELEVEN DAYS OLDER than Barney Ross. It's a turn up for the books. As far as I'm concerned. But, as said, this is apparently old news.
