    Any1 remember this guy

    Sam langford best pound 4 pound of all time anyone else agree?
    Sorry to not agree with all u sugar ray robinson fans but sam langford fought from lightwieght to heavywieght he wieghed 185pounds i been researching on this guy and he has to be without a doubt the best fighter ever.
    People like to talk about sugar ray robinson but this guy was always out wieghed by his opponants.
    What boxer do u know in sugar ray robinsons time and in this era that will box completely blind only seein shadows and knockin people out?
    He won the mexican heavy wieght title by knocking out his opponant when he was completely blind maybe he would of lasted alot longer with better defense.
    Called the "Greatest Fighter Nobody Knows," by ESPN
    Langford stood only 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m) and weighed 185 lb (84 kg) in his prime
    He fought jack johnson but lost and never got a rematch when he got bigger because he was only a light middle when he fought jack johnson and johnson was scared of his skill developing.
    Why do people forget about this guy?

    I read he knocked Johson down in their fight. Johnson would never give him a shot when he won the title because he said "there was no money in fighting black fighters." Mostly why I don't really care for Johnson.

        I think people over look this guy he was only 5 ft 7 and knocking out hofer light heavys,middle wieghts and heavys.
        He lost another title due to a draw which people said he won the fight.
        He should be mentioned more beside sugar ray robinson.

                man if only sam had a son or something to keep his genes going lol i wana see another sam langford in this era lol would be awsome not another weak mike tyson tho lol no affence mike was great but his mind wasnt.
                Sam was very smart and a very hard puncher he fought 300 fights winning almost all of them he lost most of his fights when he was fighting blind and he only had 30 losses.

                    Another guy often overlooked in all time p4p status is Henry Armstrong, who is the only person ever to hold the Featherweight, Lightweight and Welterweight titles AT THE SAME TIME.
