  1. Toughness.


  2. They wouldn't do as much as you might think.  Those guys were tough as nails.  However, if you're going to pluck them out of the past and place them in the present you also have to change more than just their place in history.  

    You must consider a few things.  What made them so tough?  If they were fighting today, would Langford be forced to fight McVey 23 times?  I dont think so.  There are always racial problems but today its more in some individuals.  During Langford's time it was a way of life for the entire country.  

    Wills would have gotten his shot at the title.  However, some of today's fighters would actually beat him.  How would he do against Larry Holmes?  Or Lennox Lewis?,  depending on which time he ended up in.
