Denny Moyer (August 8, 1939 – June 30, 2010) was an American professional boxer who held the world light middleweight title between 1962 and 1963.
Both Denny and Phil were trained as amateur boxers by their uncle, Tommy Moyer, who had been a national AAU boxing champion.
[2] Moyer fought Don Jordan for the world welterweight title on July 7, 1959, after just 21 professional bouts, in his home town of Portland.
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 over Joey Giambra.
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.
