Langford-Willard 1915

Not necesarily.

Johnson got a bit slopy and had personal issues later in his title reign.

 

Anyway, Langford had enough left to ice Harry Wills at this stage but was generaly needing a knockout to beat him.

Willard was more durable than Wills but was not as good a boxer or complete a fighter.

Langford would have a chance.

I dont think that Willard would be too big because Langford was able to beat Big Bill Tate, who was as big as Willard and apears to be a better technician.

 

I think Sam was genuinely capable of anything - I only see one outcome.......TIMBEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!!! - It would probably be quite comical to watch though haha

 

No.

He was a lot better than given credit for.

He was big and technicaly astute.

He was verry close to being the outstanding challenger, a couple of times.

It was his misfortune to live among giants.

 

I am working on how he looks sparring with Dempsey.

He cant have been that bad.

If he was then it is bad news for Harry Wills.

 

In truth, Sammy Lang was a MUCH better fighter of skill and finess than that of redneck Jesse Willard.............. BUT! Size might become a factor here.?.? I'm not sure, but I'll favor the well-tuned 230 pound Willard to beat the **** outta Langford in '15....... Yeah, I'm bold....... Sammy Lang was past it by 1915........

He does look really bad.


How about Keene Simmons?

 

I thought Norfolk looks pretty good. Which is bad news for Dempsey for not fighting him. Wills knocked out Norfolk in 2 rounds, and beat Harry Greb.

 

What???? Harry Wills is legit for Jack Dempsey, but Kiddy Norfolk or Herald Greb........ HMMMM! I fail to see where we are going here............ Enlighten me......
