Also, the fight with Walcott is pretty much seen as a Langford W.

You really rank Chocolate over Holman Williams?Originally posted by Holywarrior View PostAlso, the fight with Walcott is pretty much seen as a Langford W.
With regards to the Walcott fight - that's why I mentioned it.
I think Williams may have fought better competition, but also has more losses. Kid Chocolate should have had a win over Conzoneri, arguably, which may put him slightly ahead.
Then again, Williams has a win over Burley I believe. It's tough, but I'd probably go with Kid Chocolate.
Keep in mind, btw, that my list was based on 10 minutes of thinking time. I have changed it many times since.

Every fighter had a multiplicity of losses back then. Williams has arguably the best W column in the history of middleweights.
Every one of the murderer's row was beaten. Even Moore (Moore was feeling the heat and tried to dirty his way out of him) Booker, Marshall, Burley, Moore, Cocoa Kid - That is insane.
