Which George Godfrey? The old one or Feab Williams?

Of course this fight actualy took place and involved a faded Langford destroying a green Godfrey. Prety inconclusive.

Prime for prime I see nothing to suggest that Godfrey was of Langfords calibre though he would likley be able to split a series with him due to Langfrords schedule.

If I am betting then I go with the Tar Baby.

Langford iced Godfrey with ease. Though Godfrey was green, and Sam was past his prime when the matcehs happened, we should not how easily Langford could get Godfrey out of there. IMO, Godfrey is a bit of an over rated fighter.
