    As we all know, both Langford and Stribling both rose from lightweight division and eventually made their way to heavyweight in their careers. Well, i was doing some research (screwing around) on boxrec and i came across Mr. Alexis Rafael Castillo Sanchez, who has risen from (super) lightweight

    http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/394783

    0-40, 36 losses by KO. Standing at a Muhammad Qawi-esk 5'6", weighing in at a staggering 207lbs in his last fight, he ranks in as the #1301 heavyweight in the world right now, and with our superior training methods and diet knowledge and other stuff i made up to not mention steroids, i think that pretty much means he'd beat Jack Dempsey with 1 arm

    Where does this modern p4p legend fit in your ranks?

    I know Langford and Stribling and others had some rocky starts in their careers but this is a bit much

    Both Stribling and Langford had good starts to their careers but I don't think you need to be comparing them to Marciano, who has the greatest record in heavyweight boxing

    I'd say it isn't out of the question to compare them to the great Castillo Sanchez

    Georges Carpentier weighed as little as 105 for an early fight (at 15) and went on the face Dempsey at heavyweight.
