	A technically masterful fighter with "movie star looks," '''Denny Moyer''' is generally regarded as the finest boxer to ever come out of the State of Oregon. Nephew of National AAU champion Tommy Moyer and younger brother of professional boxer Phil Moyer, Denny Moyer became a national Amateur Champion in 1957, making a good start as a pro. He fought [[Don 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 light middleweight title by gaining a points win over [[Joey Giambra]]. After two successful defenses, he lost the title to [[Ralph Dupas]] on points. Moyer became a middleweight and in 1970 won the American middleweight title by out pointing [[Eddie Pace]]. He lost and regained this title, then challenged [[Carlos Monzon]] for the world crown in Rome, but was stopped in five rounds. Moyer continued to fight for another three years before retiring in 1975.
