      Langford hands down for me. I believe he was the second most skilled heavyweight of all time, after Ali.

      Resume-wise, Langford must be considered not just for the men he beat, but also for the men who wouldn't get in the ring with him.

        Im reading the Langford biography and learning all sorts of things. He easily trumps Duran in a p4p sense in my opinion.

          Langford and it's not close. Langford rates #2 for me. Duran is somewhere around 20.
