I want to read the book by Clay Moyle. From all accounts, he was a great fighter.

Definitely one of the best ever, a top 10 ATG (all divisions).

Why don't you ever post on the history section?

You can make a good case for him on a P4P basis, but it was 100 years ago so who the f#ck knows?

you're a good guy jersey. bringing up some of the greats in a forum that needs something besides pac and floyd. it's strange how sam gets ranked. sometimes you'll see him top 5 p4p, sometimes he doesn't even break top 20. i get it's just a testament to how, with over 100 years worth of great fighters, the difference in skill atop the mountain isn't so great.

dempsey admitting he was afraid of langford really says enough, but wins over 12 hall of famers says even more.

His last fight was in 1926 according to BoxRec. How could anybody rank him?
