    Are you implying that Langford was less athletic than Jeannette?

    Langford wasn't slow footed, he had approach similar to Foreman that he cut off the ring well and used his footwork to set up powerful punches. I don't view him as slow though.

    " I think I see something but I don't tell you ". Fabulous quote when you see it in context.

    Some of my ideas was posted by others.....
    I'll chime in with Foreman vs Moorer.
    Also, Duran vs Moore, which is the epitome
    Of skills vs physical ability, I'll drop the Mike
    now lol.
