    Ya he fought jack Johnson who had 30 pounds on him. Langford was only 5 6 and 180. You'd never see guys do that nowadays. Hell you gotta respect what roy did vs Ruiz. He was like 195 and Ruiz was over 220

    cotto going to fight sergio is pretty daring. of course roach is banking on sergio's legs still being messed up but if they are fine, MAC is gonna get stopped

    Harry Greb done it throughout his career. fighting much bigger men like Gene Tunney, etc.

    Armstrong vs Barney Ross- Armstrong went up from feather to welter and beat the **** out of a great fighter in Ross

    Duran vs Hearns, Hagler, Barkley.
