    Three of those draws were no decisions where the reporters favored Langford. That brings the win-loss ratio to 9-2-2.

    No it doesn't, because if you want to play that game , several of the leading papers called two of the Langford wins draws.

    Langford defends his World 'colored' heavyweight title claim
    Newspaper draw. (Syracuse Herald

    In addition one of Langford's wins was a disputed one as McVey claimed a foul that was disallowed.

    Can you provide the draws which you say were newspaper wins for Langford?

    My mistake. There are three newspaper decisions that are listed in Langford's favour, over and above the official wins and losses. There are several NWS10 draws, as well. Thought you were referring to those when referring to Langford's win-loss ratio.

    Apologies for the confusion regarding that.

    I hope you will be very happy together.:good

    ps My favourite fighter is Jack Dempsey ,I don't care for Johnson's style at all.

    I look forward to all your rationally applied logical arguments.
    N.B. Describing Johnson as a "Mauler " and using a choreographed make belief "fight" which was shot in 1minute and 30 second segments as evidence of Marciano's latter stamina do NOT qualify.
