Cynique I literarlly just posted a review of The Express: http://reviews.aalbc.com/the_express.htm

So you have vivid memories of Ernie Davis - wow. That is fascinating. I graduated from Syracuse University almost 25 years ago and even then, Davis' reputation has reached mythic proportions.

He lead SU to it's only National Championshiop several years before I was born. SU recently erected a status of Ernie Davis on campus and are naming a new dormintory after him.

As great as Jim Brown was as a football player. Many say Ernie was even better. Can you image Brown and Davis on the same team?

Rondall it would be interesting to know if another boxer beat Langford ~20 out of 22 times. That would then imply that that boxer is better than Langford and should be ranked in the top 10 as well.

Besides the Lansford did lose or draw almost 30% of his fights after reading that stat I was a little disappointed. but the numbers in isolation don't mean much -- especially if those loses came late in his career when he was fighting half blind.
