    DANNY DUANE VS SAM LANGFORD
    "The hardest hitter I ever met was Joe Walcott. The fastest was Danny Duane. The greatest left hooker was Sam McVey. The most aggressive was that wild-cat they called Stanley Ketchel. The best boxer was Jack Johnson. The gamest was Joe Jennette. The most fearless was Jim Barry. And the greatest all-around fighter, when you reckened brains and boxing, coolness and speed, agility to take it and power to give, was Joe Gans."

    Tbh, becuz he was a very hard devastating puncher, I would really love to know who had the best chin and stood up to his punches. Maybe Jim Barry is the guy but I'm not too sure
