Who refused to give Langford a rematch for the World Heavyweight title?

  • Jack Johnson

  • Joe Louis

  • Muhammad Ali

  • Rocky Marciano

Answer

Jack Johnson refused to grant Langford a rematch for the World Heavyweight title. Despite Langford's impressive performance in their first fight, Johnson believed that Langford was not a legitimate contender and that a rematch would only serve to damage his own reputation. Johnson's refusal to fight Langford again effectively ended Langford's chances of becoming World Heavyweight Champion.
