Sam Langford was the greatest weight climber ever , that fought from featherweight to heavyweight . Also fought the most HOF boxers 66 and had 138 knockouts recorded many not recorded . Langford is also ranked by Ring Magazine as the 2nd greatest puncher of all time . Said to have been in over 600 fights which should be a record . But only half of his fights have been found 315 because of poor record keeping back then . Was colored middleweight champ and colored heavyweight champ that defended the title 41 x . Also HW champ of England , France , Canada , Australia and Mexico .Was avoided by Jack Johnson while he held the world title as avoided by Jack Dempsey as well among many others . My P4P # 1 Great video !
Thanks man! And I know rights Sam's achievements are insane. Imagine tank Davis moving up to fight Daniel dubois. That's basically what Sam did. By today's standards he was unbelievable.
Bloody hell dude, if I’m 7 yrs older that Langford then I better get my bucket list out😂. Glad you’ve done a piece on him. Think I mentioned him a while back on another video. Another one would be jimmy Wilde. “ The mighty atom”! Arguably the best British fighter ever.
Haha I didn't realise the mistake until I was half through editing 😂🤦🏽♂️ that's a really good idea with Jimmy Wilde. I must admit that I only have basic knowledge of Jimmy wilde so it'll be fun for me to research. Currently making an ezzard Charles one but think I'll do one about Wilde right after 😊
Great video. Jack Johnson ducked Langford during his reign as world heavyweight champion. Sam Langford is the greatest fighter to never win a world title. All time top 5 pound for pound fighter for me.

Could you please make a vid about jack johnson because I think he's one of the greatest boxers ever!!
@@factsworld3466 gonna be covering a few lesser known fighters first but jack Johnson definitely deserves a video so will be bringing one out.
@@NewAgeBoxing7 thanks, I absolutely love jack johnson as a boxer, definitely one of my favorite boxers
I think jack Johnson is pretty overrated 🤷🏿♂️
@@factsworld3466 me too. Great fighter and paved the way for future greats too!
Do one for Wilfred benitez he gets so overlooked compared to the other 4 kings
Good idea! 💯
top 5 p4p easy
He's just outside my top 5 but top 10 without a doubt
Great video. Jack Johnson ducked Langford during his reign as world heavyweight champion. Sam Langford is the greatest fighter to never win a world title. All time top 5 pound for pound fighter for me.
Thanks! I agree one of the greatest to ever do it and is so underrated.
Johnson did fought Langford to a 15rd. UD but Langford was 156lbs & Johnson was 185lbs
@@CaseyCook-xs2ob Yes. Good point. Johnson refused to fight Sam once Sam put on weight and became more dangerous.
@modernguitarist1992 they fought when sam Langford had a 19 pound disadvantage
@@CaseyCook-xs2obTrue he did duck him after becoming champ though and was definitely ducked by Dempsey
