    sugar ray robinson vs sam langford

    Who wins?

    The advantages over each other:
    Ray robinson
    Faster hands
    Better boxing skills
    faster footwork

    Sam langford
    more power
    better chin
    better ring generalship

    i vote sam because he was fast himself and knew how to bully the bigger man and had punching power from lightweight to heavywieght also was a very tough fighter.

    Lets have your advantages and disadvantages also who would win?

    Langford was quite a bit bigger. At 147 though, a young Langford I'd say was a bit too green, and would get outboxed for sure. From about 160 or 168 up, he wins for sure though.

    At 160 it's a close call.

          Great as Sugar Ray was I can't see him with much chance against the heavier version of LANGFORD, the film I've seen of Langford show's an incredibly powerfully built man, far more than any ROBINSON opponent. If the fight happened at Welterweight limit, Robinson would walk away with big decision, could'nt see it any other way.

            At Middleweight, Robinson takes a hard fought decision.

              Very easy win for Robinson. Langford was a one move fighter. Step to the left of the opponent and throw a right uppercut from there. That's all he did his entire life. Robinson would school him without breaking a sweat. Langford was overrated.

                Where the hell did you get that crap from? He beat all time greats from lightweight to heavyweight. How is a man like that over rated?

                  This is the same guy who said that Ron Lyle would have humilated both Klitschko brothers. He's just blowing smoke out of his azz.

                    That is pretty crazy. But I don't know how this fight turns out. We have almost no footage on langford. not way to truly judge him
