Enjoyable reading, Sam Langford was truly a Boxing Legend too bad never got to fight for the absolute HW belt back then, damn you white America.

In his autobiography, Sam talks about a fighter most people never heard of out of new york named Danny Duane. Sam said he couldn't lay a glove on Duane. He said he was the fastest fighter he ever saw. He beat Sam by decision, and they never met in the ring again.

Its fighters like danny duane who are the real forgotten ones .

so many fighters today have zero nuts , skill ,heart .

Todays fighters would never dare fight 1 guy 5 times let alone 14 .

What I just read blew my mind. Langford started his career at lightweight and fought at heavyweight while he weighed just all of 156 Ibs and he was 5”7.

That is the equivalent of Floyd fighting Usyk which no sanctioning body would ever greenlight.

How Langford is not considered a top 5 GOAT is insane.

Sam Langford was arguably the greatest fighter who ever lived, having fought everyone of the best fighters of his era willing to get into a ring with him.
He fought most of his opponents with disadvantage's in height, weight, and at a certain point in his career damn near blind.
His accomplishments are legendary in the the sport of boxing, and I definitely would've liked to have seen him fight one of his more competitive matches.

Pure slopfest era that was
More WWF than boxing.

[harry-greb]

One of the absolute greatest fighters of all time

43 losses! The only list this man belongs on is 'Decent journeymen of days gone by' Lose one in this incredible era and you are a bum. He loses 43 and draws 53 and is the GOAT. Laughable olden day standards. Viva La Tyson Fury, Nash out - His Excellency
