EUROPEAN fighters good at ducking fights or do we blame their promoters?

dude, who is that in your avatar? reminds me of jack johnson.

Dariusz turned down because he's also a ***** and Eubank does not want to fight Dariusz after Collins hypnotize him and he became a ******. So put two together they were ******* on their own right. Add Ottke and they can have threesome.

lol, actually it's Sam Langford.

Your right Chris Eubank is not European even though he has a European last name. I guess thats because Negros never invented a written language. I dont feel very American because I was only born on American lands because my Superior White European ancestors conquered ( NOT STEAL) but conquered American lands and then prospered.

I'd have given you bad K for that **** but since I couldn't (gave out too much in the last 24h) I'll just virtually spit in your face.

Is the same Sam Langford they call the Boston Tar Baby who exaggerated that he beat Jack Johnson.

ahhh, sam langford! too bad he was so overlooked(no surprise considering the time period). he seemed to be a decent boxer even after jack had beaten him.

As far as I know he never exaggerated. It was some kinda wonder anyway that he went 15 rounds with Johnson despite a reported 29 pounds disadvantage. I can't imagine that he claimed to win this decision (though it was a close affair till the mid stages of the bout) because he was knocked down twice.

What he did complain about was that Johnson never gave him his deserving rematch.

To this day Sam Langford is one of the best ever who never hold a major title.

Him and Harry Wills has a series of fights. I think Langford calimed that he was so close to beating Johnson and JAck never gave him a shot because of that. I think he knocked out Joe Gans

He would've beaten Jack later in his career. Langford was relativley unexperienced when he first met Jackson. And he had a 29 pound disadvantage. He was the superior boxer of the two without a doubt.

Jackson never gave him a rematch becaue he knew that a heavier and more expierenced version of Langford could've well been more than he could handle.

Sam was one of the all time greats and should be remembered in that fashion.

Langford never won a title but Dixie Kid and Philly Jack was among his knockout victims
