Henry Armstrong Tidbits

You're going on like someone crucified Jesus man :roll:

What about the 3 million fighters that copped this sort of stuff but never ever became notable. That's ok because it's not Henry, right?

Back in the day **** happened, and happened often i dare say. How do we know it didn't happen in reverse one time?

It's a long time ago and unfortunate things like this did indeed go on. I think Hank recovered quite ok going by his rather impressive record :good

 

Sounds a little too low. :huh

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_Indurain
"Miguel Indurain a Spanish cyclist and five time Tour de France winner, had a resting heart rate of 28 beats per minute, one of the lowest ever recorded in a healthy human."


Bjorn Borg apparently had a resting heart rate of 35 beats a minute.

The Mexican long distance runner Arturo Barrios had a resting heart rate of 25 beats a minute.

 

Yes.

It's not "cold," the whole point of the sport is to physically defeat your opponent with your fists.

 

I think its fair to say, under the circumstances detailed above, Armstrong was an incredible individual & a marvelous fighter! He was extraordinary!

Fighters of today should bow in memory to guys like Henry! IMO, Armstrong is the second greatest P4P in history, after Ray Robinson!

 

Armstrong was incredible! And yes - being second only to Ray Robinson sounds very reasonable.

 

This near dead kid with broken ribs and emaciation and all the rest of it supposedly won a fight 3 or 4 days later, didn't he? Pretty fast recovery? How do you explain them apples?

 

So in 3/4 days Armstrong made a total recovery from the broken ribs,malnutrition (which is different to weakness due to lack of food) and the severe beating he took in the ring ?

 

Well, at least someone gets it

:good

 

It's not semantics, it's you carrying on with utter fukking ****. You got caught out, plain and simple.

 

Impossible

 

its called death
