My guess is Langford.

These two met in the ring once with Langford being outweighed by 20 lbs to the "Galveston Giant". Johnson won the 15 round decision in this bout. Once he became the champion Jack Johnson refused to give Langford a title shot. I believe that if he would have, he still would have won and possibly knocked out the great Langford.

I would go with Langford in his prime because he was man enough to step up often. He would have been the 1st black champion had he had the oppertunity. Jack Johnson beat the smallest champ ever. However he DID beat Langford in 1906 for the "colored" Heavyweight championship.

Johnson beat Langford as quickly as formerly.Jack never gave Langford yet another rematch.Johnson claimed there became no longer adequate gross sales for him to combat Langford back.Johnson needed the highlight for himself.in my view whether they fought back Langford could've been no tournament for Johnson in his top.

Johnson would have been too quick for Langford. I don't think Johnson would knock him out but he would win by decision.
