I agree Loughran had an impressive HW resume for a natural LHW. It depends what perspective you're taking, I think. If I were to rank Loughran...
I have Loughran #9 all time at LHW. I could see him as high as 7 and no lower than 9. Walker spread his careers work so thinly across 4 x weight...

HW - Joe Louis (Ali for the majority, which is fine with me) LHW - Matthew Saad Muhammed (I have both JHL and Foster higher, but whilst both had...
