Marciano vs Langford

Really?

What were the PSI results of the test and when was it taken?

 

Aparently McVea was measured at 1300 PSI. If this is acurate then he hit harder than Wlad Klitschko.

Unfortunately I have not been able to track down a primary source for this but I have heard it from enough diferent sources including Ring Magazine to suggest that there may be something in it.

 

I think McVea gets underrated sometimes he was a massive puncher didn't Johnson say McVea was the best fighter he faced. Plus he had stamina to go over 40 rounds and has to be one the most intimidating fighters I've ever seen. Amazing if he really hit harder then Wlad that would be huge testament to Langford's chin since he stood up to that.

 

Really? One would think the technology not that advanced at the time. I am highly skeptical. Both on the limited film available, on his record and in testaments, I am not that impressed with McVey. Tough guy in a tough era, sure. Big left hook. But nothing special.

 

Johnson said McVey was the best man he faced ,and he reiterated it several times.

 

Do you see Shavers going 20rds against world class competition,multiple times?

 

I think 47 kos in 65 wins is pretty good myself

 

Those KO's were primarily against no-hopers with little or no recorded records.

Who is the best fighter he ever KO'd? Pelkey? Lester? Martin?

Bestill my beating heart.

 

i think rocky would probably win by ko...in one of the hardest wars ever seen in boxing....both would be busted up but rocky more so

but i think he would in the end land something gigantic....

 

Just curious why you think langford is capable of knocking out marciano? personally I think maybe only 1 or 2 punchers in history(one is named louis) is capable of stopping marciano. marciano had a concrete chin and amazing recup powers, the man couldn't be stopped.




I like marciano by decision in this one. watching langford on film, he was very scientific and intelligent, but marciano would land too frequently and pile up the points.
