    The problem is where to place him?,He could make top ten at 3 weights in many peoples lists.

    It's true. The thing is, looking at that list, could Hagler really be expected to beat him? Could Monzon beat Langford? I mean really, it's hard to pick against Langford fighting men this size under his own ruleset. He KO'd Flowers whilst parially blind for Christ sake, that's a fighter who is a lock for the top 15 or 16 at the weight.

    Imagine him fully prepared, rested, at his peak? Fearsome. What a puncher he must have been at middle.

    I'm basically clueless as as to where to put Langford in divisional ratings. As an overall career he's of course never lower than #2 and I have recently been favoring him in the top spot instead of Robinson, but I'm at a loss as to where to put him when dividing his career by divisions.

    Pretty solid list, I just don't agree with putting Hopkins all the way at #5 IMO that is way too high, especially considering some of the guys you have him ranked higher than.
