And about me posting a list where Sam is ahead of Robinson in p4p settings, no I don't know of any historians who have done so.
I never said also I did have such a list. What I said was that lots of historians rank him in their top 10. I have him in my top 10 due to my own reasons. YOU STATED THAT HE IS NEVER IN ANY TOP 10 LISTS...OKay...I gave you three sources where he is fine? You gave a false information and I rectified it fine...see your quotes above.

Originally posted by sonnyboyx2 View Posti have put up lists for you ,i have put up archive news clippings about what Jack Blackburn said of his meetings with Langford, i have put up a video of Historians telling who they feel was P4P the greatest but you cannot accept it, you have tried to twist and turn my words to suit your agenda of trying to claim i have lied, which is simply not true and the reality of it all is that YOU YOURSELF know it is not true, so either put-up or shut-up.. show me a ****in list which rates Sam Langford ahead of Ray Robinson or show me 10 lists which have Langford in them because most i have ever seen do not rate him in them as a P4P great.
I can accept Sugar Ray as #1, I repeadtedly said if anyone has him there its fine with me, personally I disgress. May be your brain doesn't register the fact?
No need to get upset. Few know about Sam , but unlike you they don't post garbage.
Never mind Sonny, just for everyone who is reading your tirade, find me the quote where I said most historians rank Sam ahead of Sugar. I have repeatedly said that I accept Robbie as #1...If you or anyone ranks him so I am fine with it...Poet here says he has Robbie at #1 so what? He is entitled to it..My personal choice is otherwise. I have repeadtedlt told you that Sam is top 10 P4P which you said he wasn't.
What does that Jack Blackburn interview say, he fought on equal terms with Sam? I have no doubt he could..He fought Greb too and greb didn't blow him away too. Jack Blackburn also stated that Sam was the best of all the old timers...
Sugar Ray had trouble with lots of fighters too.So what..go ahead and have him at #1 I have no problems...just don't post **** about a fighter you know nothing off.

you never said its ok if others rate SRR as No1
where is the garbage ive posted.. "The video?
will now put you on my ignore list because you know nothing whatsoever about boxing and you have repeatedly tried to contort and twist this thread around to suit your own agenda, but to claim no one knows who Sam Langford is s the biggest ****ing howler ive ever read on this or anyother boxing forum..Last edited by JAB5239; 10-21-2010, 02:56 PM.

Would you have Langford in your top 10 Sonny?
I've always said that if there was a better fighter than SRR then I never saw him and i've seen a fair few in my time.
Without turning into one of the new "if he's in black and white he can't fight" Langford like Greb does suffer a bit by not having a lot of film of him. I would have SRR as number 1 but Langford and Greb are def in top ten

Originally posted by sonnyboyx2 View PostGJC i have no doubt whatsoever that Sam Langford was an unbelievable fighter and a true ATG would i have him in my P4P top 10 list.. No i think my list would consist of fighters post 1940 that there is film footage of and taken alongside their achievements i would make my list, The same goes for Harry Greb.. This Topic is about Ray Robinson being P4P No1 fighter of all times an opinion which is universally held, when the criteria for that position was drawn-up by Boxing Historian's from the IBHOF & BWoA Ray Robinson received 27 of the 30 votes, which tells you `it wasn't even close`.
My feeling has always been he is nailed on number one pfp now lets look at the others.
Bit like Ali in the HW's.
Seems you and Greatest1942 pretty much agree but are arguing lol
