    Nevermind the difference in amount of fights Qwai was fighting world class ability at 10-12 fights lets match these two up at their respective primes. The Qwai who destroyed Mathew Franklin for example.

    SEEMS LIKE SAM LANGFORD HAD A LITTLE TOO MUCH FIRE POWER for the solid and rugged Dwight Qwai ...fire-power goes too the SAM

    More like "The legend of Sam Langford" vs Dwight Qawi. A lot of people like to believe in the exaggerated romanticized stories and legends of the past so you have MANY people who actually BELIEVE that Rocky Marciano would defeat a 230 pound monster like David Tua.

    I'd give it to Qawi if they fought under modern rules.

    Tua as a monster....Hold on.....good one....you had me going there for a minute....almost thought you were serious. Tua is a hypothetical monster that beats all greats in these hypothetical threads, yet lost to every very good/borderline great he actually faced....shoot he even wins hypotheticals that he lost in real life!

    I won't say that Langford would beat Qawi....but he certainly would be the overwhelming favorite going into this fight.

    Either you don't rate the eras as comparable or you pick Sam by knockout.
