    Been studying Langford a bit. This guy had power for his size . some of the films i saw of Langford vs Jeanette and Langford vs Bill Lang . The smaller guy Langford was actually the one in control of the fight he was marching them down. Now don't get me wrong Rocky is a beast and one of the best and one of my favorite heavyweights but is Langfords style all for someone like Rocky? Or would the Rock do what he does best and wear down Langford ?Who'd win this bout? It be a great one!

    It would be very interesting, one of my favorite hypothetical matchup. Usually I prefer Langford, because he was more versatile fighter with better defense but anything could happen!

    Probably take Rocky to wade through the punishment and stop Sam, Marciano would definitely get his hair mused .

    Grueling fight, one I take Marciano to find a way to stop Langford

    Langford had iron chin, no way he'd get stopped in three.

    Would you like me to make a mathematical equation representing it?

    I'd have to expect him to do at least as well as Cokkell!
