    Probably the two best finishers that the division ever saw, but both a little bit too big for it.

    Langord got a lot better, by his own testimony, north of middle. Probably nowhere that high. Fitz, he was pretty much untested at MW he was so in excess of his peers but it's very very hard to judge based upon the footage to hand.

    In both instances i'd probably sidestep the problem, firstly based upon Langford's performances at the weight, secondly based upon the fact that there's no footage.

    If you wanted to do a list based upon a fighter's superiority to his peers, you could make an argument to rank Fitz very, very high.

    I would only have Greb, Robinson, Ketchel, Monzon and Hagler above them. However, I'm sorry to say that I'm not answering your question properly. It's difficult for me to rank h2h with little footage. So I would like to think that I always rank based on 50% h2h and 50% resume. However, unlike many (or should that be, 'unlike many admit'?!), I know that my reading, my gut feelings, and my emotions forever intervene. And I wouldn't change that if I could.
