What are the chances of prime Sam Langford against these boxers (all in their primes)? How do you think these fights would have gone?
Nightmare match for Walcott. Impossible to say with any certainty what would happen with Ray but I'd heavily favour Langford as a guess. Charles has the best chance. He could box Langford in his normal style and probably take a lead. Might even be favoured over shorter distances.
Charles does not have an amazing chin. Remember what happened to him against Bivins and Marshall in their 1st fights. If those guys could consistantly get Ezzard down what chance does he have with Langford? Langford had true HW power weighing in the 160s. Fighting fat Langford is no given. Langford could cut weight and get his speed back. Langford won the HW title weighing 158 pounds.
I think Charles beats him 2 out of 3, maybe 2 out of 4, but Sam beats the other two far more consistently. Dude had speed, front foot skill and hammers in his hands.
