    Two ATG s with knock out power. If they faced off against each other, who walks out the winner?
    1950 s rules and gloves.
    To be honest, either man could ko the other and it wouldn't surprise me.

    It would be a feast to our eyes, that's for sure.

    To be honest, I can't imagine how amazing would be matchup between two of the greatest and most experienced punchers ever. It's also at my favorite weight range, anything from SMW to CW would be suitable for both.

    It would be a battle, I'm pretty sure. Either man could hurt the other or end up flat out.

    Interesting. A battle of wits and brawn. The Ol' Mongoose versus the Boston Tar Baby.

    Hard call, I seem to think Langford is the better fighter but a match with the mongoose at 175 is not a given.

    Yes it's always hard to pick against old Archie. But if anyone can put the drop on him it's Sam.

    How can you pick between two cavemen?

    It’s a fight that could have literally gone either way and even resulted in mixed outcomes if there was a series

    Have you finally watched at least a clip from Langford's fight?

    Then why you still couldn't realize what guard he used?

    Also, have you seen recent Langford thread in which Pat M (a poster you like most posts about old timers) said that Langford would be fine today and that he showed good fundamentals?
