    Scared to match Loughran with Conn for obvious reasons eh?

    I'll take a look tomorrow with more input.

    Or perhaps the guy who beat Loughran and Tunney so emphatically... what was his name?

    Harry Greb.

    Loughran was hardly prime ,three losses to Greb in which he was 19, 20, and 21.

    Wouldn't dream of saying your wrong, but in my opinion Charles was the best ever L / Heavy.

    Interesting. You see Conn beating Tunney and following that up with another over moore/Loughran. I have always felt that loughran would beat Conn....but anyway.....How do you see a fight between Tunney and Conn going? I respect your opinion (even though in this case I disagree), and would enjoy your analysis if you have one to share. Thanks in advance or even if not.

    No picks outside of Charles and Tunney?

    We will never know ,I think Tunney is on a par with Charles and we have another wild card around that weight, Bob Fitzsimmons.

    Tunney would be the clear winner.
