    Not much to think about. A 5'7", 180 lbs guy against a 6'7", 240 lbs ATG heavyweight champion.. Seems like a short night's work... Yeah, yeah I know.. Big Bill Tate was a huge dude and probably a cross era clone of Klitschko.

    Wlad might have trouble with Sam's shortness.

    Wlad UD12 I reckon. 12-0. Ref might step in if it gets bad I suppose.

    If Sam wins a round, it means Wlad is unconscious :lol:

    Pretty much sums it up.

    Langford is the smallest fighter who would pose a serious threat to Wlad.

    wlad has all the physical advantages in spades.
    is a 60lb advantage enough to make up for the massive skill gulf and awful chin? perhaps.


    wlad may have trouble if he gets hit.

    Except that he didn't control the division for 8 or so years...

    Would Wlad have done that back then?

    Would he have beaten the Povetkins, and Haye's in his 1st -15th fights?

    And would he have beaten them every few months without his long expensive training camps?

    Langford struggled with Jabbers big enough to step on him. Wlad would be no exception.

    Langford easily. He was far better than Sanders or Puritty.

    Vlad would murder him

    a downward jab can be far more destructive because you can get on top of it and get a lot of weight on it without expending too much energy

    plus Vlad fights a bad style for Old Langy, he would use his big elbows and arms in all clinches to place great pressure downward upon Sam forcing him to resist or be pushed to the canvas,,,

    then he would do that range finding paw jabbing he does and when he found the range whereby it was very hard for Sam to land on him I think Waldo would start driving power shots right threw his guard and probably knock him out
