Prime Mike Tyson vs Prime Sam Langford

[DeeMoney]

I'm a pretty big Sam Langford fan; but lets be realistic-prime Sam Langford is probably a Super Middleweight/Lt Heavy.

I get people get super jazzed about early 20th century HOF fighters who picked off guys from much high weight classes, but I think thats more indicative of how the sport was in a formative state.

I'd give Langford a good shot to take out anyone sub 175, but prime Iron Mike is just a bridge too far.

Only crazy people who don't watch enough footage of each era gives a chance to a novice,that nobody even made pro fighting like even in amateurs in 70s

This isn't history.

Judge a man by his accomplishments in his own time. No man can transcend his time, and it's ****** to judge him for not being able to do so.

Your comments are truly just plain ****** and meaningless.

If you can offer an historical insight or merely a historical opinion that would be great, do that.

But this nonsense belongs in the Fantasy Fights forum. There is nothing 'historical' about your posts. Just silly, pointless speculation. Which, even if it is correct or "Ascended" is still irrelevant because it didn't happen; will never happen; is not history.

It is not history, it is fantasy.

I get it, there are old timers who annoy you. Fine!

Go give them shlt in Fantasy Fights, not in the history section.

History never compares a historical man to today's capabilities or mortality.

It is irrelevant to do so; it is ****** yo do so.
