I know many regard it as a robbery, but Montell Griffin gave Toney plenty of trouble as a pressure fighter and Langford is miles better than Griffin, I have no doubt in saying that Langford beats Toney, maybe even by KO, but I stick with points as Toney was never KO'd, Langford pressures him all night and bullies Toney
Yeah, I think that Toney would be too defensive in this fight. Normally, Toney ate pressure fighters alive but Langford wasn't just a pressure fighter, he would box and brawl with Toney. Not to mention that Langford himself had iron chin.
This is an insanely hard fight to call. Both were happy as counter punchers in the pocket. But Langford was also able to go on the offensive much better than Toney imo. I think that means Langford would be giving up his natural style here in the hope he can physically overwhelm Toney. As a one off I pick Langford on points, but over a series of fights they probably take a few each.
An in shape Toney at the same weight as Langford absolutely schools Langford. He schools him inside and outside. There's too many skill variation through the years between the 2 of them.
What skills exactly? Toney was quite an old-timer in terms of skillset, I doubt he did a lot of things that Langford did not see.
