4 unusual facts about Denny Moyer


Denny Moyer

He lost and regained this title, then challenged Carlos Monzón for the world crown in Rome, but was stopped in five rounds.

Perhaps the most distinctive place in the history of boxing the boxing Moyer boys from Portland will hold is that all three boxed the famous Sugar Ray Robinson.

He continued to box in the best company for two years, and then won the vacant light-middleweight title by gaining a points win over Joey Giambra.

That was the first of Jordan’s two successful title defences (the second was against Denny Moyer on 10 July 1959), before losing the title to Benny Paret, eighteen months after being crowned.
