Sam Langford's IBU Heavyweight Championship Line

Jack Johnson is in the new Undisputed game he’s a pretty good fighter with an overall ranking of 90 - Langford would be about 89.

 

Yep and yep - Dempsey too, both overall 90.

 

I got a match in like 30 seconds

 

The IBU recognized Langford for all of 12 days,when nobody followed their example they reversed their decision and re -recognized Johnson.

World Heavyweight Title,
as recognized by the French Boxing Federation which had stripped Jack Johnson (and which shortly after stripped Langford)

 

The NSC billed Langford's fight with Iron Hague in1910 as for the English Heavyweight title.

A title Langford,being Canadian was not eligible for.

 

No.

 

Europe got a little distracted by an incident in 1914. His claim died when he got stopped by Fulton. Its easier to trace an NSC lineage for him. The IBU one just isn't there they were not really worried about boxing administration at this time.

 

Yes. There was no such thing as "a world title" meaning recognized by a sanctioning body representing the world.
