You guys do fine :good I see it similar to your first assumption. Loughran using his great jab and defensive mindset to outbox Archie. Moore was the better fighter but Loughran was lighter on his feets, faster and would annoy Moore with his jab.
You could say Moore knew how to deal with this type of fighter and he got the better of Johnson in their series who is a bit similar to Loughran in that he had a great jab and was a counterpuncher but imo Loughran´s jab was better than Harold´s and he was more defensive minded which would make a difference here.
Loughran by decision.

 

Thanks bodhl. Very good on all your points statd their about Harold Johnson. Loughran is definitely more defensive minded, he was a defensive minded boxer whereas Johnson was a pure boxer. There's differences between the two.

I find this fight really difficult myself.

 

I've defo noted your points on Archie here. But i think Loghran would get an early lead, Moore would come on late and just miss out on a decision.

I'm actually a bit reluctant with that but there we go.

I'm good for another one if you want. I propse a John Conteh fight............

 

And we have our first split in opinion, very nice! Haha.

Okay then, well in Conteh we have an outstadnig technician. In Qawi we have an aggressive punching type. He's a bit more like Dick Tiger than Joe Frazier in his approach i'd say. Conteh would be tested in a real good fight here. But he would also be able to work his combos on his man who will come to him.

Any thoughts?

 

I'm leaning towards Conteh (there's no Liverpool bias here though, don;t worry!!), he's rugged and tough himself and can definitely do the scoring with eye catching combos as Qawi looks to advance and work. But could Qawi bang him around? That's the real question here imo. If he does that to effect then he'd be looking to leave his stamp all over the fight, and he's an intimidating character in that mode.

I'm leaning towards Conteh slightly though.

 

Well i think it's a definite classic, i've either got Qawi grinding him down as the fight progresses or Conteh excelling in a war. At the very peak of his powers i reckon Conteh could do it. This is fought at a frenetic pace, really a mouth-watering type fight.

You thinking Qawi?

 

You're really sounding convincing but i'm going to stick to my gut feeling on this one and respectfully disagree.

You got another one in mind?

 

No i've been thinking as i said before about Qawi as the fight progresses and i've got him stopping Conteh late. That's my pick now.

Well i reckon Saad has the power, no doubt in my mind actually, and from an offensive standpoint he's technically sound. But Jones in his prime i reckon would avoid beng stopped and probably stop Saad. I'm predicting a typical Jones performance, staying and outside and exploding with fast powershots that are timed well. Like i say though, Saad is capable of cleaning Roy's clock no doubt.
