    No the were not.
    In1915 Langford's best days were certainly not behind him,nor were the other two's.

    So you agree that there is a window where Langford was the best heavyweight in the world?

    I agree he was one of three I have named who had excellent chances of beating the version of Johnson that Willard faced.

    Perhaps that's because you are always marching in the wrong direction?

    Now that is a problem, because Willard did beat him.

    How is that a problem.? If the fight had been scheduled for 20 rds we know Johnson would have won.

    You are basically saying that Willard might have been the only fighter in the world who could have beaten Johnson at this point.

    Nope,I'm saying exactly the opposite.
    Look you greatly overstated your case,and I called you on it and proved you wrong if you cant accept that,it's your problem.
