    I never thought Langford was noted for his movement.I think George is too big for Sam.

    Langford was 5'.7.5". Clay Moyle who knows more about him than anyone I have encountered and who wrote an excellent biography of him, says Langford's best weight was 175/180's, at 200lbs he was hog fat and is described as such in several fights. Johnson's given weight was 187lbs and neither man actually weighed in. Johnson did not lose weight for Langford and Langford did not gain weight for him.Two years after this fight Johnson scaled 192lbs when he took the title from Burns.

    Good thread Sam is very quick and sneaky, one of the best trap setters in history if he fights on the back foot he has the ability and one punch power to ko foreman however if he tries to fight on the front foot he might get fraziered

    I don't need to study him more,I've seen all the available footage of him and read what is out there including contemporary newpaper accounts over a period of 15 years ,Stop with lectures.

    Alas due to the styles of the men he is fighting in those fights we do have we don't get to see him implement it but it's well documented

    Langford has almost zero chance here.

    I don't see him surviving 2 rounds. If he lands a hail Mary within that 2 rounds then he can do it.
