    fantasy matchup

    i think langford gives foreman trouble with his movement, defense, speed and power for a few rounds. then foreman crushes him?

    anyone agree?

    I think that if they fought three times Foreman would get knocked out somwhere.

    Wills had an excellent chin, and was about Foreman's size.

    He KOd prety much everybody and a lot of guys with good chins who didnt get Kod by anybody else.

    Langford as a finisher is right up there with Dempsey, Louis, Liston Tyson. In terms of planed one punch KOs he might just be the best heavyweight ever.

    This guy is dangerous.

    If I managed any fighter in history I would steer them clear of Langford.

    i saw a video awhile back of wills getting sparked by a much smaller fighter. foreman fought big punchers and was never knocked cold. also did he fight anyone with foremans power?

    to janitor- i know you have langford p4p no.1...so do i.
    how would you rate his punching power with the likes of foreman and shavers or who would you compare it with?

    yes i know he was very dangerous fighter :bbb quite astonishing a guy standing just 5'6 is sooo feared!

    I think Langford would win at least 1 out of 3 as janitor said, I believe him to be the hardest p4p hitter of all time considering he KO'd a top 20 heavyweight in Harry Wills despite being a 5'8" natural welterweight and having the 2nd highest number of KO's of all-time.

    I think 1 out of 3 is about fight. Langford had a great chin, and the stamina to fight all night. Foreman would need to get the job done early, and Langford would give him that opportunity.

    Also George Godfrey was supposed to have Foreman-esque power and a damn good chin and Langford KO'd him as well.

    Ya because Godfrey was making his pro debut and was no more than a 5 fight novice.
