    Who wins, let´s say at HW (although both always weighed much less :D ) and why?

    Two all time finishers going at it could be verry interesting. Both of these men are the type of fighter you only needed to make one mistake against and you were gone.

    I will say Langford because he was more durable and more mobile but anything can happen.

    Exactly my thaughts, 2 of the greatest p4p- fighters with sick power, I would also favour Langford, because I think his chin was a bit better and his wild style would be effective against Bob, but I wouldn´t bet much money on this...

    I would go with Langford for the same reasons.

    More durable?

    Quite sure?

    I'm very impressed with the beating Fitz took from Corbett without compromisng workrate or gameness even a fraction...why so sure?

    I'll pick

    I think they are fairly evenly matched, so I'll go with a draw.
