    Not a bad strategy but Langford isn't as elusive as a Byrd nor does he have that southpaw style. Langford struggled mightily with good big heavyweights willing to stay outside. The size advantage is enough that he would have to come to Klitschko.

    Agreed. Would be a good strategy if Langford were bigger and faster. In other words, if he were a different human being.

    I don't think Sam would do it,

    probably not very many guys under 210lbs that I can think of,,, Cassius Clay was under 210, that would be my first pick who "could" beat Vits. Vits is a tough match up for anyone of any weight :bbb

    I think Marciano and a cruiserweight Holyfield could beat him.

    Key word is COULD and I think that suzy q could drop just about anyone other than Cobb or McCall.

    It could be anyone though, because anyone COULD.

    no no, we are talking about smaller than the LHW Byrd. of course lots of other CWs and HWs could beat him, there are hundreds. But I specifically mean the smaller weight classes.

    Then I suppose you would have to include Jones Jr ( at 168 ) and Ray Robinson. Ray gives the big dummy a boxing lesson, and Jones dazzles him with speed.

    I was going to say Hekkie Budler, but if you want a legitimate "win" then the pickings become very slim. Certainly Byrd wouldn't do it. Maybe prime Mike Tyson.
