    I can asure you that I am not in the habit of hiding.

    I am prepared to defend my statments and if the other guy has a valid argument I dont mind saying it. Now if you are particularly interested in these issues then by allmmeans start a thread on it or PM me and I will try to find what information I can.

    Dwight Braxton came close to beating Hoolyfield and he was only 5' 7" compared to Langford's 5' 8". Talent wise Langford was far superior to Braxton and had a whole lot more experience when he hit his prime. Size means nothing to Langford. He knocked out guys much bigger than Holyfield. Who did Holyfield beat really? Riddick Bowe? Over-rated headcase. Mike Tyson? He'd already lost to journeyman Buster Douglas. Ray Mercer? A fridge with legs. When he stepped in with a real quality fighter Hoolyfield lost twice to Lennox Lewis.

    Sam Langford by KO in 10.

    Hi,

    Yes, Tyson hit harder than Quawi - yet Quawi landed heavy punches
    on Holyfield on a FREQUENT basis in their first fight, whereas Tyson
    did not. I think that Langford WOULD land on Holyfield and hurt him.
    That was my point - If Quawi could give Holyfield the fight of his life,
    I think that a smart boxer/puncher like Langford would beat him.
