Robinson: in the middle division.
Henry: in the lower division.

I have heard only people refer to him as "Hank" now and again...Mostly older fans who were around when Henry was a more common name and most knew Hank was the nickname for it...(Though not sure exactly how that came about

)........

Hank Aaron is usually the more known Hank in sports at least here in the states...Personally I get thrown myself for a second when they call Henry Hank..

Hell I just confused myself with this explanation

Yea Hank Aaron is the guy that comes to mind when somebody talks about a Hank. Hearing the name Hank Armstrong is confusing.

Did anybody get to see a vid of henrys match against garcia for the middleweight title? was that really a draw or what? I aint seen it but was henry using his elbow illegally, he should of won if points weren't deducted right?

Hank got beat by SRR but he was way past his best. He had a low heart rate so he could throw punches for 15 rounds without getting too tired. He was a whirlwind of a fighter. He had a peak period where he won titles at 3 proper weights against great fighters and only failed the 4th one with a draw. After that it was down hill.
