    Both fought at lighter weights. However who had a bigger punch at heavyweight?

    I voted Fitz because I always imagined him as having jarring power. But who really knows?

    I get the impression Langford had more raw power, but Fitz was a better finisher.

    Langford seems to have had more freaky one punch knockouts.

    I will chance a guinea on him!
