In the end the bottom line is the lagacy of fighters like Johnson and Dempsey will always be incomplete without meeting their best challengers, Dempsey(Wills, Langford when he was a contender) and Johnson (Jeannette, Langford and McVea)

I would also note that Johnsons resume dose not particularly depend on his title reign. His tour of the division while he was coloured champion is damn impresive.
