Denny Moyer (August 8, 1939 – June 30, 2010) was anAmerican professional boxer who held the world light middleweight title between 1962 and 1963. He finished his career with a 98–38–4 record.[1]

Early life

[edit]

Moyer was born inPortland, Oregon, and attendedCentral Catholic High School. He was the younger brother ofPhil Moyer, another of Portland's finest professional boxers. Both Denny and Phil were trained as amateur boxers by their uncle,Tommy Moyer, who had been a national AAU boxing champion.[2]

Early professional career

[edit]

Moyer foughtDon Jordan for the world welterweight title on July 7, 1959, after just 21 professional bouts, in his home town of Portland. Moyer was outpointed, making the world title shot his first defeat. He continued to box in the best company for two years, and then won the vacant World light-middleweight title by gaining a points win overJoey Giambra.[3] After one successful defense, he lost the title toRalph Dupas on points.[2]

Sugar Ray Robinson bouts

[edit]

Perhaps the most distinctive place in the history of boxing, that the boxing Moyer family from Portland will hold is that all three boxed the famousSugar Ray Robinson. Uncle Tommy Moyer lost to Sugar Ray in New York as an amateur. Denny Moyer fought Sugar Ray in New York twice as a pro, losing the first fight on points but winning the second by 7-3 scores on all three cards.[2] Phil Moyer had his chance with the legendary Robinson in a bout in Woodland Hills, California. He too outpointed Sugar Ray, giving the Moyer family a very respectable 2 - 2 record against one of the sports most celebrated champions.

Later career

[edit]

Moyer became a middleweight and in 1970 won the American middleweight title by out pointingEddie Pace. He lost and regained this title, then challengedCarlos Monzón for the world crown in Rome, but was stopped in five rounds. Moyer continued to fight for another three years before retiring in 1975.[2]

After boxing

[edit]

After his boxing career, Moyer worked in real estate and owned a construction company. The website, Eastside Boxing reported in February 2004, that Moyer was in a Portland nursing home. Moyer died of complications fromdementia pugilistica on June 30, 2010.[2]
