    Cobb would get stopped either by KO or TKO.

    It would be like the Holmes fight but much uglier.

    Seriously?

    Really think Langford's capable of that?

    Langford was in my opinion, one of the top five heavyweight finishers of all time, despite his size.

    I am prepared to justify that opinion in detail.

    Yeah, but to finish you've got to start your man going.

    I'm not aware of Cobb in his prime ever being so much as annoyed at a punch.

    Watching the Shaver's fight right now, and the mans chin is absolutely disgusting.

    230 pound man as well.

    Langford would win, but I have doubts over whether he could stop Cobb.
    Cobb was very very durable.

    Cobb's loss to Dee Collier is a curious one though. Any ideas what happened there ?

    langford would win, not sure if he would get stopped tho, cos i know cobb can take a good punch.

    henry wills said he never knew what sparked him out when he got knocked out twice against langford!
