    Guys, Larry Holmes had time under 200 pounds. It's clearly Larry Holmes. Not counting the time Waylon Jennings was 138 pounds. But technically, it's like, are they really heavyweights, by your definition? RJJ? I don't know.

    It'a a FACT, not nonsense. The boxers from the 1900s sucked compared to modern counterparts.
    Just like any other sport, boxing continuously evolved. It plateaud in the 80s and 90s.
    There are amateurs out there that would beat any champ from the 1900s

    You keep talking about general opinions, but they are not facts and you are wrong if you think that Langford is more primitive fighter than Sam Peter. Seriously, what does Peter do better than Langford? What makes him more advances? Explain that.

    Peter not only lost to Wlad, but he almost got knocked out in the 12th round.

    I meant Brewster, sorry for that typo. Peter gave him hell as well though.

    Is this supposed to be an argument? If so, it's incredibly weak - highlight reel proves nothing.

    It’s not a typo if you double down on it, sir.

    Winning doesn't mean you're above criticism.

    Crude or not, he'd beat Langford.
