    Are you ready for an impossible task?

    Rank these fighters on their respected resumes alone. Nothing else is to be taken into consideration (longevity, skill set, achievement etc plays NO part).

    Greb, Armstrong, Langford, Robinson, Ezzard Charles.

    :good

    It's interesting. I'm pretty comfortable with Greb as my number 1, but I think Ezzard pushes Langford into 3rd place on my list
