        Might be wrong but my understanding of it was that unless Langford knocked out Ketchel or of course vice versa it would be a ND. Also Langford was informed that it would help his chances of getting a shot at Ketchel's title if he "carried" him.
        That said even under those rules I was always under the impression that most thought Langford won comfortably.
        On the poll I would say I guess Wills will win even though Gans was the best fighter Langford fought.
        But for my money i'd go for the Flowers win as Langford was nigh on blind when he sparked him.

          Gans was best fighter he fought p4p, but he was bigger than Gans. Flowers was pretty good p4p too but he was waaaaaaay bigger than him, though being blind in both eyes and doing it was pretty damn impressive. Another p4p great win is Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, but O'Brien was on his way out and also outweighed by Langford.

          Wills (not Willis) on the other hand was simply the best Heavyweight of the time period. So naturally for a man who started a WW/JMW to beat one of the greatest Heavyweight of all time, it's got to be his best win.
