    Langford is better than Stanley , a fight a few years earlier with both at 160 would be one for the ages. At this point with Langford 20 pounds heavier Ketchel has no chance I'd say.

    He could have been shot in the back like old Stan.

    That's true! No growing old for Stanley.

    I'm not as sure as evens. The ND was very even. With the weight cut, though I'd very much favour Langford, maybe Ketchell could have had one last surprise, if it had happened earlier maybe more so.

    Yes, there's always that chance that Langford maybe comes in overly confident, doesn't take Stan to seriously and Ketchel gets himself in to as good a shape as he could by then. He might well have had one last great fight left in him.
