On Langford fighting taller opponets here's google image I found showing a newspaper cartoon of Sam Langford vs Big Bill Tate....
Great info thanks guys! Who were the five Louis victims Loughran lost to? Carnera and Farr are the only two I can think of?
Hello, Seems he wasn't doing to bad in 1936 and 37. In 36 he lost what sounds like a questionable decision to Tommy Farr. According to Boxrec...
People said that Corbett did really well in his sparring session with Tunney. I don't see any sparring in any of the clips though.It's all just a...
I can't favor Roy doing it at 168 too weak. Too much risk of Johnson landing hard and KOing him like Ketchel. I know Roy is a much better boxer...
I wouldn't favor anyone under 170 over a prime Johnson. Has to be at least a light heavyweight. Out of the light heavies I could see doing it are...

I don't know if Liston had been around and everyone was talking about him being invincible. I could see Rocky going for one last big one.
Hmmm, I could see me favoring him over Braddock, Baer, Carnera, the Willard who fought Dempsey. Those would be the only three. However, I...

Everyone has to learn from someone. So the old timer would have to teach the new fighters for anything to happen.
Great article Marciano is in my top 5 all time greats. Strong, tough, conditioned, and fearless. I agree that he was probably friendly with the...
But where does this supposed flash of genius come from though? How does one guy all of sudden come along and dominate the old style with what is...
