I question whether or not Langford-Burns and Langford-Ketchel would have made for great trilogies. I think Langford dominates both of those guys....
I thought it was common knowledge as well but apparently not based on some of these posts. In my opinion, Langford and Woodman would have been...
"The question is whether he'd push for it in the social (and financial) environment of the times." He and his manager did push for it, for...

Tell you what. I have a brand new paperback version of book that I'll inscribe and sell you for $10. But it costs me $24.75 to ship it to the U.K....

The correct birthdate of Sam Langford has long been a topic of debate. Some said he was born as early as 1880, others 1883 or 1885, and many more...
