    Dempsey yes , because for his time beating Willard was bigger than anything Floyd or Manny has done.

    Yes...I'd put him in the top 10...and I'd put Floyd there if he beat Pac.

    These hoes try to discredit Floyd but give Manny a bunch of props for beating him. I don't understand how the win could be so valuable

    Chavez beat alot of bums to build his record up, Louis great run but also a lot of bums, Why are Tunney, Johnson so great.

    You argue 'they were great for there times'- so are Klitchsko's, so are they in Top 10 HW of all time or Top 50 P4P of All Time?

    Wel I think he is already higher than chavez and beating floyd would deserve him to be mentioned near those guys, lets face it lineal titles from flyweight to welter, beating several atg's and hof boxers. what more could he have done besides that except not lose or be more convincing vs marquez.
    Its not easy to get ranked high as a fighter today, beating floyd would be the icing on the cake.
    Usually boxers get rated much higher when they retire than active, why cant we look past that and rank the atg's of today properly.
    Its not that strange to put the man based on his current accomplishments along the likes of whitaker,jones jr, hearns,hagler,monzon,chavez etc.
    Those guys all did a lot in the sport, he atleast is on a similair at this point.

    heavyweights could have weighed at about 165 then, so he could have actually fought current SMW.

    Being blind adds nothing to his ranking, you rank him on how he was, thats like saying Joe Calzaghe is Greater than he is because he had brittle hands

    Im not here to disrespect anybody on here , that isnt my thing , but if you cannot see Langford being an absolute great fighter , then maybe this isnt your sport.

    This man should be in everybodies top 20 at least

    Man you need to watch some of the old films Louis is probably the greatest heavy of all time.

    Klitchsko's are neither top 10 ten heavies of all time or top 50 p4p.

    The lack of talent right now puts them at the top of their division .

    V could compete in any era W is lucky he didnt fight Lewis.
