Happy Birthday, Danny! Seventy years old... that would mean -
-Joe Louis was champion for only two years
-Melio Bettina had just stopped Tiger Jack Fox for the Light Heavyweight Title (only weeks before you were born)
-Fred Apostoli was recognized as the Middleweight Champ
-Henry Armstrong still had the title at Welterweight (until October of the same year
-Henry Armstong still held the Lightweight title (He wouldn't lose to Lou Ambers until the end of the "Summer of 39')
-Joey Archibald was the Featherweight King
-Sixto Escobar occupied the Bantamweight Throne
-And the little slugger, Peter Kane was the Master of the Flyweight division.
You've seen a lot a great fighter and great fights!
So now, the only question that remains is... if Ray Robinson were a Heavyweight, would he have beaten Joe Louis? And, if Joe Louis were a Welterweight, would he have beaten Ray Robinson?
Having seen them both, 35 years from now your reply my still be saved within the archives of Google....
Hope you celebrate your birthday for the entire month! Happy 70th!
