Although Sam Langford never realized even a chance at the heavyweight title most historians rate him as one of the true ring greats in the early 20th century. Champions Jim Jeffries, Tommy Burns and Jack Johnson fought far less superior competition then risking their titles against the "Boston Tar Baby." Offered here is an incredibly rare photograph of Langford signed on the reverse in ink. 6.5x8". Signed "To Billy From Sam Langford." Signed when his eyesight was failing. Irregularly cut photo LOAs from Harry Shaffer and Rhys Yeadley.
