"greatest p4p fighter ever to live" The term was invented for Sugar Ray Robinson. We really don't know how, or even if, Langford ever thought in...
The argument seems to be that there is more money in Shelby, Montana than in Paris, France. Somehow, this seems weird on the face of it. But...
So what you are saying is that Dempsey knows, (or should have known) that the fight probably could not be staged in the USA--perhaps a dubious...

I disagree with you that it was even physically possible to get from San Francisco to Boston in four days in 1903. Langford fought in Boston only...
"so theoretically he could, have seen Corbett's challenge to Jeffries in 1903." According to boxrec Jeffries fought Corbett on August 24, 1903...
"Again picking a winner of sporting events has no bearing on sports expertise." So you are arguing against your own position. If picking winners...
