    Who takes this one? O'Brien was quicker, Loughran a bit more technical.

    Loughran takes this easily.He was truly a great Light Heavy.
    O Brien beat an old man to win his title and never defended it ,he was also kod twice by the Middleweight king.
    Loughran beat 3 men who held the world heavyweight title and numerous heavyweight contenders.
    O Brien said he engaged in MANY fixed fights .
    I dont think much of him personally or pugilistically.

    I also feel Loughran totally outboxes O'Brien.

    Gotta go with Johnson.
    Sentimental reasons play a part in that.

    Loughran beats O'Brien bad en route to a UD in 15.

    Loughran would have whipped O'Brien who liked to have his fights pre-arranged.
