    Both in their primes (Langford in his prime as a HW) 15 rounds. Schmeling did well against shorter guys and fighters that came at him. I think it would be a battle of attrition, and very interesting to watch since both were so crafty and intelligent. Who wins?

    Big Maxie,Ilike em both!! A lot! I think styles Sam to agile vs. Maxie. Both science minded,skilled boxers. I forsee this going real fast crispt pace. Both boys plenty power. Wouldnt this be real barn burner today for cruiser title? Who could best these two?Oneil Bell?:lol::lol:

    I guess I would lean towards Schmeling...Langford could definitely wind up smothering and battering him though.

    A cautious fight for both men, but a knockdown by Max makes the difference in a razor thin decision that really could have gone either way.
