    Personally I think Jones out boxes Langford. Speed kills.

    Personally I think Langford decapitates him.

    The longer it goes the more the odds favor Langford. He wouldn't have to land much to KO Jones.

    This is one I could really see going either way.

    Decapitates is a strong word. But actually Roy could hit, too

    Hard to say because Langfords power is legendary & Jones was an amazing talent. Langford had many more fights against a much deeper resume. By looking at the results of Jones KO'd by Tarver & Johnson Sam may just look to bang home the button to success = Roys chin

    If the fight advances Langford's career significantly, then he eats his cornflakes out of Jones's skull!

    janitor sees mcvey's decapitation and raises him a mutilation (along with a bowl of breakfast cereal)...

    After cracking JONES' ribs. But let's be realistic, Jonesy wouldnt stand on the same sidewalk with Sam, must lest where gloves and shorts in the ring against him.

    Here is what Jones would do!

    He would duck Langford in his prime, when he could have made a fight of it.

    Then when he was well past his best himself, he would have agreed to a fight with say prime Jack Dillon, and he would have taken a beating!

    Langford would hurt him.
