Henry Jackson Jr. (Columbus, 12 de diciembre de 1912 – Los Ángeles, 22 de octubre de 1988) fue un boxeador profesional estadounidense y campeón mundial, que peleó bajo el nombre de Henry Armstrong. Es reconocido universalmente como uno de los mejores boxeadores de todos los tiempos por muchos críticos de este deporte y por otros púgiles profesionales.Henry Jr. forma parte de un grupo selecto de púgiles que han ganado campeonatos en tres o más divisiones diferentes (en una época en la que sólo había 8 títulos mundiales reconocidos universalmente), además de tener la distinción de ser el único púgil con tres campeonatos simultáneos, peso pluma, peso ligero y peso wélter en 1938. Armstrong defendió su título de peso wélter en diecinueve ocasiones. En 2007, The Ring situó a Armstrong como el segundo mejor luchador de los últimos 80 años. Bert Sugar también lo consideró el segundo mejor púgil de todos los tiempos.Armstrong nació el 12 de diciembre de 1912 en Columbus, Misisipi, y a temprana edad se mudó con su familia a San Luis, Misuri, donde aflorarían sus dotes boxísticas. Era hijo de Henry Jackson Sr., de ascendencia africana, irlandesa y amerindia, operario de una finca, y de America Jackson, iroquesa. Armstrong se graduó en Vashon High School y su nombre aparece en el Paseo de la Fama de San Luis. Armstrong era conocido por sus apodos de Hurricane Henry y Homicide' Hank.Armstrong debutó como profesional el 28 de julio de 1931, pelea en la que perdió por nocaut en el tercer asalto frente a Al Iovino. Del mismo modo que Alexis Argüello, Bernard Hopkins y Wilfredo Vázquez, Armstrong es uno de los tantos campeones del mundo que iniciaron su carrera con una derrota en su palmarés. Su primera victoria llegó pocos meses después frente a Sammy Burns, por decisión de los jueces en el sexto asalto. Armstrong decide establecerse en Los Ángeles en 1932, donde comenzó perdiendo dos combates consecutivos a cuatro asaltos por decisión arbitral, contra Eddie Trujillo y Al Greenfield. No obstante, a partir de ese momento se hizo con once victorias consecutivas, una buena racha que mantuvo hasta 1933, cuando vuelve a perder, esta vez frente a Baby Manuel. Tras esta nueva derrota, Armstrong se mantuvo invicto durante 22 combates, consiguiendo, por ello, el récord de 17-0-5.
