    It'd probably be a crazy war but Qawi should win it. He's clearly quicker, better technically and tough enough to take Langford's best (for the most part anyway). I think he'd win a clear decision at 175 or 190.

    Langford to me, unless he's not at his absolute best. He's more powerful and he's very crafty puncher. I don't Qawi is strong enough physically to stay in front of Langford all the time and beat him to the punch at the same time.

    For a long, long , time I have been confused about a big part of our beloved sport, I will do my best to explain, and this thread is perfect in outlining my point/confusion.
    So we have top posters on this thread saying that ITO Qawi would beat Langford, ok thats up to them, BUT if thats the case, when those punters come to listing their ATG , or P4P, or simliar, they must surely then, rate, put, Qawi above Langford yes ? have I got this right, because if I have ( and am open for people to point out, I have got this wrong ) then the ratings of the Qwai rooters would go something like this:
    1/ SRR
    2/ Greb
    3/Armstrong
    4/ Qawi
    5/ Langford
    6/ Louis
    for example.
    My way of thinking would be that Qawi ( good fighter that he was) wouldnt stand a chance against Langford, because Sam IS a ATG, he is undoubtedly a great, fighter, and a live contender for No 1/2 on anyones list of best P4P of all time, Qawi is most certainly not, no where near, not even on the same planet, I am struggling guys, throw me a life belt....
