    Styles make fights. Louis was a great combination puncher. Langford was a great fighter, but in my humble opinion, Louis would win.

    So how do your rank Joe Walcott (original) & Harry Greb. Not to mention footage of guys like Fitzsimmons is really poor quality.

    Langford was born in Nova Scotia Canada which just about every boxing fan already knows.
    He was boxing as an amateur in Boston Mass at the age of 14 and won a tournament there at 15 years old.

    He was known variously as ,"The Boston Tar Baby","
    The Boston Destroyer ," and "The Boston Terror".

    His home town was Boston.
    You're not the sharpest knife in the drawer are you?

    So your "revised" heavyweight champion list would be:
    Jeffries
    Willard
    Carnera
    Liston
    Ali
    Frazier
    Foreman
    Holmes
    Tyson
    Douglas
    Holyfield
    Moorer
    Briggs etc?
