Sam Langford vs Anthony Joshua: Does Langford have any hope?

Sam's best weight was between 175lbs and 180lbs. He often fought as high as 200lbs ,but at that weight he was described as "hog fat".

 

5ft'7 vs 6ft'6
180/185 pounds vs 250 pounds
74 inch reach vs 82 inch

Taking nothing away from Langford as he was unbelievably talented but I just see it as a case of physics, all of which favour Joshua.

It would be interesting to see if Langford were to be able to keep all his indisputable talents, whilst following the if you are smaller then make yourself even smaller philosophy in the bout, as the height disparity anyway was massive, so making self even smaller could play into Langfords favour in that aspect anyway, though a uppercut from Joshua might elongate Langford rather.

 

No way.

Barring him landing a hail Mary shot and one bombing AJ it just isn't happening.

Fulton dominated Langford and left him blind and he hardly had the best jab of his day but he could still control the range.

Joshua should pound Sam into an RTD style defeat.
