Langford
I don't rate fighters by how great they were during their respective eras. I rate them according to how I think they would do if pitted against each other during their primes. I don't have a top ten Heavyweight list so to speak but if I did i doubt that either Sam Langford or Jack Johnson would make it. I rate Ali #1, Louis #2, and then, in no particular order, I'd have Holmes, Frazier, maybe Foreman and Liston, possibly Marciano and Dempsey, maybe Tyson, and maybe, just maybe, Lennox Lewis and one or other of the Klitchko brothers (please, I know, but I don't want go there!). Below is how I'd rate Langford in the game by applying my formula detailed elsewhere in the forum. Unfortunately, if you want to maintain consistency, you have to rate ALL of the old time fighters with my formula if you rate any so that they remain proportionately competitive with their contemporaries.
