    Sam Langford vs. Floyd Patterson's Lineal Title Run: Take Sam at whatever point in his career you think he was best able to start this run then age him as Patterson aged from there.

    1. Archie Moore
    2. Tommy Jackson
    3. Pete Rademacher
    4. Roy Harris
    5. Brian London
    6. Ingemar Johansson
    (If you have Johansson winning, then rematch. -Otherwise on to McNeely-. Same with Liston.)
    7. Tom McNeely
    8. Sonny Liston

    Does Sam run the table, or is he stopped short? If stopped, who stops him?

    Thank you for all responses!

    Makes it to Liston and loses but Archie and Ingo would be fun fights
