And Johnson beat him. Would Langford have ever beaten Johnson? Maybe, about once in a series of five fights I should imagine.
Benny Leonard and Willie Pep, but in fairness they beat several contenders in the weights above. Not sure about Carlos Monzon, probably just...

1. Harry Greb 2. Benny Leonard 3. Willie Pep 4. Barney Ross 5. Tony Canzoneri 6. Roberto Duran 7. Jimmy Wilde 8. Eder Jofre 9. Jack Dempsey 10....

Max Schmeling was a pretty good puncher actually. But my pick would definitely be Jack Dempsey.
167lbs Bob '1050 psi' Fitzsimmons.
