On an all-time list ? I know he fought his way up through the divisions and he might rate higher at light-heavy, but he has an extensive resume at heavyweight and as a mature fighter he was a strong and capable 185-190 pounds. Where does he rate against the very best of all time ? Where does he rate against the fighters of the eras he fought through ?
I was thinking the other day about how Langford would go against Louis. I think he would go fine, but I don't think he could win. I think he would go that way against most of the ATG heavyweights, but I don't think that anybody would enjoy fighting him, that's for sure. I don't object to seeing him in a top 20.
Honestly, Langford at his best would be a threat to any heavyweight in history bar none. In terms of acomplishment nobody should have him outside their top 20. Personaly I have him at about 10.
