    Which LHVy Champs would you confidently predict would beat Sam Langford?
    [Sam comes in at 175lbs].

    charles....that's about it

    even money on greb, 3-1 on tunney, 4-1 on spinks, 5-1 on foster (if langford can physically handle himself with some of the toughest and strong heavies of all time, he would bully foster)

    ...Does Sam actually exist outside of textbooks?

    :patschdamn man, i can't believe i missed him. same odds as tunney. better puncher, sneaky as all hell but not quite as mobile

    since i'm a HUGE fan i'll give jones 4-1 odds to.

    best fight could be against galindez or saad muhammad but a squat brawler and go for broke warrior don't have a shot against arguably the greatest puncher of all time

    Charles, Jones, Tunney, Moore. LHW versions of Ali, Patterson and maybe Dempsey. Reckon he'd get to Spinks, although Spinks beat Langford Lite in Qawi

    Why does he get to Spinks and not the others, PP?

    To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't confidently predict any of them would beat him at 175.

    None of them confidently - Sam was too good and too powerful and too agressive and too much of a ring genius to say for absolutely sure

    Charles and Tunney seem to have the best chance.

    Conn could be a dark-horse.
