    Based off the below I could see a Bivins win

    In the three years after this fight Bivins went on to defeat Tami Mauriello, Pat Valentino, Lloyd Marshall, Melio Bettina, Curtis Sheppard and Archie Moore, whom he knocked-down six times en route to a knockout victory.

    Moore stopped Bivins 3 times and beat him on points another time. What was the weight disparity between Bivins and Moore for Bivins sole 1945 win over Archie?
    Number 2 ranked lhvy Bivins had about 20 lbs on then middleweight Marshall.

    Well I didn't say he would win I just said I could see it so if he fought him during the streak he COULD have beaten Langford........once

    In the interest of full disclosure I took the pro Jim Jeffries crowd approach to research I didn't look at his size advantages and granted him the same amnesty in this mythical match that Jeffries got.........I didn't look
