Not for a second am I comparing Johnson and Langford in terms of greatness. It's not comparable. But atleast in recent years it seems to be that Langford is held to a different standard which suprisingly wasn't the case many years ago.
He didn't avenge those loss's, no. But again, I could write you a long list of great fighters that didn't avenge loss's. Henry Armstrong springs to mind. No one highlights that.
If it was an deliberate exaggeration then fair enough. Latter of the Top 10 I would personally disagree with but can understand.
However, not being in the Top 10 is something I simply cannot comprehend, personally.
