Prime Sam Langford vs Prime George Foreman

Foreman .I think this is one time the size disparity would be just too much to overcome.It's possible Sam might rock George before being bombed out though.

 

langford was 5´7 and at his best at around 165 Pounds. Foreman was just way too big. Foreman by ko.

 

Clay Moyle ,Langford's biographer reckons Sams optimum weight to be 175/180lbs.Still too small and short of stature for George.
Foreman recently said he liked to fight short guys and that's why he would always beat Frazier,whereas Joe would always be trouble for Ali.

 

Foreman by 4 rd ko .Big George would smash through him .

 

This was not his best weight.

 

The size difference at some point comes into play. Foreman KO1

Langford vs Marciano would be a scrap!

 

I don't see a 1 round ko.Langford wasn't hard to knock down ,but he was very difficult to stop. Sam v Rocky would be a war!

 

It's certainly in the realm of possibility.

 

Though Foreman wasn't that much bigger than Wills, it's more his crazy power.

Foreman's absurd power makes him a nightmare for the microheavyweights IMO. At a point he'll just do too much damage even if he doesn't land clean. Plus Wills does seem to have had a questionable chin.

Langford had a longer reach too. I'd bet on Rocky, but Langford has a very real chance IMO.

 

Landford was an anomaly. I think he might have been an alien, seriously. The guy was so little but beat up much much bigger guys. The videos of him in existence show a very awkward and shifty character with terrific punching power.

Foreman would not so much be too big for him, because he ko'd so many big guys, but because he had the skill set to do so. Foreman feasted on little guys. Sad to say but Big George beats Langford by KO.

But he'd better get to him quickly....Langford could go 100 pounds if he needed to whereas early George tired fast.

 

I think it possible.I used the term, "rock him," but yes I believe Langford hit hard enough to drop anyone.

 

Depends on how Sam can run away, Foreman might kill him
