    I'm interested in Langford v the modern heavyweights, and the opinions of the posters on this forum in relation to those matches.

    Here's a fantasy match with no politics. A modern great, at the tail end of the top 20 lists against a true great of boxing - but the smaller man.

    I will open threads pitching Langford against more modern champs later, maybe, but for now, for you guys who know a bit about this fighter, how does he do with Patterson?

    Why?

    I like this topic because people who love and respect Langford can legitimatley pick against him - after all, Patterson is one of the best at the biggest weight.

    How does he do?

    Langford would murder Patterson. This is going to be a case of two rtains coliding and the more durable one will win.

    I agree with Jan Itor on this one, I rate Langford very highly.
