The "Boston Tar Baby," at 5'6 1/2", 185lbs, fought in weight classes from lightweight to heavyweight, defeating World Champions & legends of the time in each weight class. Langford was a devastating puncher even at heavyweight, and was rated No. 2 by The Ring on their list of "100 greatest punchers of All-Time." Langford was described as "experienced as heavyweight James Toney with the punching power of Mike Tyson." Langford, denied a legitimate shot at a World Championship Title, even though he defeated EVERY World Champion or eventual World Champion in non-title bouts, except for Jack Johnson, who outweighed Langford by 35lbs when he defeated Langford in their only fight. Langford was denied his shot at a legitimate World Title due to the color of his skin, though he was the World Colored Heavyweight Champion, a title vacated by Jack Johnson, the white establishment's selected "colored man," after Johnson won the World Championship(which he would win a record five times). Chirped renowned Champion Jack Dempsey, who refused a fight with Langford, "I think that Sam Langford was the greatest fighter of our time."

Hey @@connorperrett9559, thanks for responding👊 Actually, Johnson & Langford did fight once, with Johnson, who outweighed Langford by 35 pounds, beating Langford handily, breaking his nose, splitting his eye lid and cutting his lip badly. Johnson said later that he could have put Langford on the canvas at any point from the 5th round on, though he had prolonged the match to 15 rounds at the request of the ring's management. Johnson refused to give Langford a rematch once he was Champion. In speaking to a few of the old-timers from the day, one a black Gent who was an asst. trainer at the gym where Langford trained in Boston, he said that the word was that Johnson, who was the first and only black World Champion at the time, did not want to "share" the spotlight with another black fighter, especially a black fighter such as Langston, who, one, had improved greatly since their fight and secondly, could end a fight at any time with just one punch. Actually, it was Jack Dempsey, in 1916, who refused a fight with Langston that many said was out of fear. Dempsey later stated, "I think Sam Langford was the greatest fighter we ever had." Stay Well🍻 RP

George Godfrey, also a Canadian, was no slouch either, as he too won the World "Colored" Championship and literally chased World Heavyweight Champion Jack Sullivan around the country and into Canada, showing up in cities when Sullivan was fighting and challenging him to a fight, anytime, any place. In 1881 a story surfaced that a bare-knuckle fight against Sullivan had been scheduled but was stopped by the Boston police due to boxing being illegal in the state. I asked the Old-Timer that I mentioned above about its legitimacy and he stated that it was true as the Boston Police had put a car outside their gym to basically keep tabs on Godfrey whenever Sullivan was fighting in either the NY/Massachusetts areas, lol Cheers🍻 RP

Go to the body and the head will fall. Great quote from Sam Langfords book. 🥊🥊

[@zstrode.8953]

He knocked him out then preached to him lmao ❤

[@naskko3884]

Your voice is so good 😊❤❤

[@satchycollins3985]

Langford must have been an amazing boxer.

Just imagine being there to see those two back in the day in this moment. Man that would have been something.

I love that message and it’s more important than ever for this world

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

314 bouts. Holy cow!

[@princeparish5001]

Sam Langford was a different breed. Dude was only 5'6-5'7 a lightweight knocking out heavyweights with ease. Homie was a bull

[@dontrah1838]

Where's the proof some clown on KZbin?

[@princeparish5001]

@dontrah1838 it's called documentation. Also Google is free.

[@nthnmonkey]

@@dontrah1838 Boxrec. Langford was a Phenom, just like Henry Armstrong who came later.

[@nthnmonkey]

Indeed Sir, Langford was a once in a generation fighter and seriously avoided. Even Jack Dempsey wanted no part of him.

[@princeparish5001]

@nthnmonkey Yup, Sam was a threat for such a small guy, it's a shame he wasn't talked about as much

[@spacemonkey6532]

Just to read the face of a man and see his thoughts is all u need to know to respect this great fighter 🙏rip

[@saulsauceda8909]

Thanks for the sports highlights that are still being told for generations to come(!!!)

My father was a golden gloves champ back in the day. When I would try to work a jab on him, I hit his forearms and it felt like I broke my hand. He was a machinist so he did the equivalent of lifting weights 6 hours a day. Few people do that type of labor today.

[@virgilrobertsjr7870]

Very insightful post! 💯

[@bgt2848]

That’s the most alpha sh!t Iv ever heard!👏🏻

[@oblood189]

Sam Langford was a scientist with those hands 🤜🏿🤛🏿

Looked him up. Samuel Edgar Langford March 4, 1886 Weymouth Falls, Nova Scotia, Canada He was a Black Canadian boxing standout of the early part of the 20th century. Called the "Greatest Fighter Nobody Knows", by ESPN, Langford is considered by many boxing historians to be one of the greatest fighters of all time. Originally from Weymouth Falls, a small community in Nova Scotia, he was known as "The Boston Bonecrusher", "The Boston Terror", and his most famous nickname, "The Boston Tar Baby". Langford stood 5 ft 6+1⁄2 in (1.69 m) and weighed 185 lb (84 kg) in his prime. He fought from lightweight to heavyweight and defeated many world champions and legends of the time in each weight class. Considered a devastating puncher even at heavyweight, Langford was rated No. 2 by The Ring on their list of "100 greatest punchers of all time". One boxing historian described Langford as "experienced as a heavyweight James Toney with the punching power of Mike Tyson".
