Send in your 1900s and 1910s heavyweight to beat prime Floyd Patterson. But no Jack Dempsey.

    With the exception of Dempsey, put forth your 1900-1919 heavyweight to beat prime Floyd Patterson.

    I think Langford had the power to get it done.

    Harry Wills probably too given he was 6'4 and had a good punch. But we don't have footage of peak Wills.

    No footage of Fulton so i can't say.

    But Langford, sure.
