    Langford at 175lbs takes on these two with a 3months breather between, modern gloves 15rds how would he do?

    Hard to say because the two mentioned are still active and prime.

    If I had to put money on anything, if you're there to be hit, Langford will hit you.

    If Langford hits you he likely knocks you out.

    So I would expect Langford but for all we know Kovalev unifies and rules for a decade and goes down the divisional goat.

    I originally fancied Stevenson to beat Kovalev but after the Pascal fight I changed my opinion.

    I think Stevenson can end it with one good hit but over time Kovalev will wear him down.
