TOUGHEST MAN Pound for pound ever set foot in the ring. It wasn't Tyson or Muhammad Ali or even Jack Johnson.
And Jack was the meanest, baddest, face-breakingest heavyweight to ever hold the belt.
It'd be the kid who scared Jack Johnson. A pint-sized boxer who scrabbled out of the lumber yards
in the early 1900s.
Sam Langford.
5'7", 650 fights,
40 pounds lighter than every heavyweight he ever boxed.
Fought Jack Johnson three times.
Beated him so bad once that Jack refused
to put his belt on the line against him
and fought the last third of his career hiding a secret from everyone that he
was stone cold blind won championships blind and how you might ask is that even
possible as Sam would say I know every inch of a ring Buckle to buckle that's my house. Once we tap gloves. I know where his chins at he shuffles his feet
I face that direction when he hits me. I just hit him back harder
My name's Sam Langford, and I never back down from nothing

You think you can take this ring from me?
