    He didn't beat Burns, Al Kaufman, Fitzsimmons and a few others. He also had so many loses that aren't held against him. Whereas the likes of Lewis and Foreman get slated for their loses against Young and Rahman.

    I also feel that no one keeps their ratings of heavyweights consistent. Many Tyson fans won't hold any loss in his career against him, but will try and slate people, much like Lewis and Foreman for their loses when they were clearly out of their prime as well. Or put a lot of emphasis on big wins, but will have someone like Holmes and Lewis very high up when neither really had a career defining win. So if you were to have Langford so high up what is your basis of rating your top 10 heavyweights?
