Posted: 23 Jun 2011, 09:22
To boxing historians who happen to use BoxRec, how accurate is Bert Sugar's information in this video between and up to 4 mins of this vid?

How do you rate these apparent facts he comes off with?
Is it true that the Johnson vs Langford fight originally went down as a win on both fighters records?
Johnson wouldn't fight Langford because "nobody wants to watch 2 black men fight for the world heavyweight championship"?
Dempsey's manager wouldn't let his fighter fight Langford because he wanted Dempsey to have "an easier fight" when Langford was blind in one eye and was 40 years old.
How accurate is this?
