Much Gratitude

Love how you are going year by year and breaking Sam Langford down. The newspapers are so fascinating to look at since they include photos that we have never seen on the internet. Can’t imagine the hard work it must’ve been to create this video.

Incredible stuff buddy. Really appreciate your efforts , with this great content. I look forward to following your project. Props to you. Bless up 👊

Great video Buddy, keep up the good work. Langford was truly one of the very greatest and had over 500 fights. So incredible 🥊 Also the lost to Jack Johnson he fought him with a broken hand and still went the distance. That’s incredible 🥊

Well done Random Acoustic Thoughts. I really appreciate your tight research on these great fighters. Beginning January im going to do strong research on 1920 -1940.

Fantastic job, i have shared on my community page

Tough times bred tough men, and the early 1900's some of the toughest men to ever lace up the gloves fought. Your documentary is very well done, especially mentioning some of those greats that Sam met and beat. One of those greats that Sam met was Jack Johnson. Sam was not quite experienced enough to handle Jack at that time. Still a very close fight as Jack was just a couple of years away from being the Heavyweight Champ of the world. Using the pound-for-pound analogy Sam was the greatest ever (my opinion). The first time I got a peek at Sam's pro fight record it was a jaw dropping event for me. He not only fought very frequently, but fought the best of that time. His career spanned from the early 1900's unto the early 1920's. His list of opponents reads like a "whose-who" in great boxers. I remember reading about a time that the great Jack Dempsey ducked Sam. Dempsey's manager, Doc Kearns, told Sam that they were looking for someone easier than Sam. Sam was way past his prime when he made this challenge. But his legendary status as one of the best ever followed him , even past his prime, even being legally blind, that's how great this man was! The Jack Johnson fight mentioned earlier, was never repeated! After Jack won the title he carefully drew the "color line" against Sam. Even though Sam, Joe Jeanette, and Sam McVey all were more worthy challengers than the ones Jack defended against. Damn, what a heavyweight line-up that was around then! The lighter weight Sam met was the likes of Joe Walcott, Jack Blackburn, Stanley Ketchell, to name a precious few greats that Sam met. Thank you for your documentary, well done, and very interesting to the student of boxing history!

23 fights in one year is unheard of . They were built differently back then . I'm in total awe💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I'm related to Sam Langford. Great to see some respect finally given to his name in recent years.

All ways Great to see Sam Langford in conversation. Nice Work Random Acoustic Thoughts.. Keep up the Great work. The very best to you and your family.

As a fan of Sam Langford I appreciate the in-depth information about this great fighter from the early 20th century. Excellent presentation.

Damn mann! Thank you for what you're doing great content extremely education thank you again and keep up the good work you are phenomenal

Langford was so far gone as a heavyweight, but still had power and was great enough to kayo Tiger Flowers in 2….

My Dad was an old pro boxer. He told me about both Sam Langford and Sam McVey, when they both came to Australia. Dad said Sam Langford was the best

Very Underrated Fighter

Respect. Serious good work sir.

Great video Random 👊🏻, are you going to do anymore year by year content on Langford?

Wow! Thank you for your lists of fighters. I just saw another fighter from Australia, Young Griffo in the photos on your list. He fought Welterweights bu was always only a Leightweight. Sadly, as an Australian, he was never given the credit of the title he won and the titel he deserved?

Briliant job mate👊👍👌

grew up with sams great granson lewis, and he was an incredible athlete too.

Good shit.

Good video

Jimmy Walsh was 15 years old at the time of that photo from the list of New England champions

Unbelievable wtf another to look at was Eugen Blard

Doesn’t Holly hold a victory over Langford?

SAM was no doubt,1 of the greatest,but can U be so less excited n your narration!

This is a classic case of over rating a fighter who was under rated. The take that Johnson feared him is an overreach. Johnson was nobody's fool he beat pretty much all the great black fighters and lost to some before he won the title. Johnson knew the big money was fighting white hopes and promoters knew this. Its just business twisted as it is. Johnson and Langford both had great respect for each other.

no footage, just news clippings - total time waste

Jack Johnson ducked him.
