    Sam Langford best h2h ever. A murderer from lightweight to Heavy at 5feet6. GOAT. Dont care if footage is limited.

    SRL did not clearly beat Hagler. I've scored that fight 3 times, and 2 of the 3 times I had it a draw.

    No they would not, at least the majority would not rank him the GOAT because a fighters greatness is judged on what they did before they declined & nobody was calling him the GOAT after Tarver 1.

    He looked like **** vs Tarver in that 1st fight, I scored it a draw... he should have fought Lennox Lewis after Ruiz & retired win or lose, he would have made my top 10 if he showed that ambition but he didn`t & there were other times in his career that he never fought the fight the fans called for.

    H2H he is up there but even then there are plenty of fighters with similar outstanding ability (albeit different styles) that have proved their H2H greatness vs better fighters.

    I can`t honestly say for sure that Roy looks better on film than Robinson, Pep, Ali, Leonard, Sanchez, Whitaker, mayweather, Duran or Chavez all in their most impressive performances.

    Bob Foster had that 1 punch KO power no doubt ..But a prime Jones was difficult to land flush on ..Would have been a hell of a scrap !
