    I'm going over my initial timeline in more detail (I think I'll do this on my previous threads as well actually.

    I'm upto Benny Leonard's retirement as champion and I'm quite happy with everything up to that point. Any losses above 137 pounds don't affect my viewpoints on one being a leightweight champion.

    Langford's claim is weak as a LW champ, I see the light now.

    nah I disagree and maybe I'm alone but I don't see it any other way.

    for example, let's say martinez fights sturm at 161 pounds and Sturm knocks martinez out. Martinez's claim as MW champ completely evaporates in my eyes.

    Ok I've gone through the timeline in more detail with brief notes explaining some choices. Plus I've increased the date accuracy to the nearest month.
