Dempsey had otherwise cleaned out the division and it took time for his credibility to erode. While Dempsey didn't fight for 3 years this...
Still he was effected more and didn't bounce back. Guys with goat chins don't go down in a few rounds.
Just wanted to share these pre Ring HW rankings I've been using the last few years and have found helpful. For the post 1924 period they can...
The 0 era makes it hard to rate chins based on how often a fighter has been stopped or dropped. Given how Kabayel, Parker and Hrgovic all came...
Because the winner of the 2nd fight keeps the belt without a third one so 1-1 isn't neutral. From a fan standpoint I don't want to see it. But...
P4P top 100 is so high that boxrec ranks Lloyd Marshall 99, Sam Langford 101st and Mosley 102nd. When you truly consider all the lower weight...

On Sam Langfords boxer rec page at the top of the page next to its picture it says fights and rounds this is where I got it from. Below the...
Those are not minor titles. And either way those titles came with the recognition of much of the world. Some claimants didn't even have formally...
Langford won the NSC title in 1909 and the IBU title in 1913. Both of which are ancestors of the WBC. Langford was never lineal champion. Sam...
My number was based on the false impression he had 254 fights and subtracted the fights he had when he stopped fighting at MW from the HW fights...
I think SD and especially MD is emphasising the minority judge. And its better to look to either the majority decision or neutral decision if...
