    Langford is so good that he left Greb off the list out of sheer modesty.:toney

    It's true ... if he's ahead of Langford or not , they are neck and neck as exceptional ...

    Charles is amazing, one of the best. I wish he would have retired after Marciano

    He's a candidate for that title, but I would give that honor to Greb.

    Still, it's a helluva feat that Charles, arguably the greatest LHW of all time, was 3-0 against a fighter who may have been #2 ever in that division (and perhaps the #1 champ ever in that division). I don't think I can think of another situation where the (arguable) #1 fighter in a division completely owned the (arguable) #2 in that division - can anyone else?

    Yeah, Robinson-Gavilan and Saddler-Pep are the next best (only?) examples.
