    These two beat Lewis and Wladimir, yet you think Langford would be too archaic.

    Langford was more versatile fighter than even your beloved Tyson.

    The fact that they beat them does not make them better than them.
    Both Lewis and Wlad got way better after teaming up with Steward

    That's not the point, the point is that you called Langford too archaic for modern HWs, but he's more skilled than fighters that actually beat them. On top of that, your favorite HW (Tyson) is also less versatile and less skilled overall fighter than Langford.

    Wlad lost to Brewster and was knocked all over the gaff by Sam Peter after teaming up with Steward.

    Langford is not more skilled than the players that beat them.

    Wlad had just began his collaboration with Steward when he lost to Brewster.
    And despite being hurt by Peter, he still won the fight.
    Wlad's prime was from around 2006 to around 2010/2011

    Nice way to cherry pick his prime and ignore the Peter fight :lol:

    Yes, I ignore it, cause he had just began to work with Steward.
    Steward was a great coach, but he couldn't work miracles. It takes time for someone to learn.

    He's more skilled than Brewster, Peter, Rahman or McCall. No debate here.

    No he isn't, he fought well over than 100 years ago, his skills are primitive.

    Stop repeating nonsense, so far you proved nothing and showed no argument.
