    Loughrans chin should not be questioned.

    He was stopped, not iced by Jack Sharkey. He walked to the wrong corner.

    Obviously, Sharkey was the best heavyweight on the planet for a time.

    It ultimately comes down to this.

    He had 127 known fights, and had one of the deepest resumes in the history of the division. That translates into stoppages and droppages.

    Despite this, his stoppage losses are as follows:

    He was stopped at the age of 18 by Johnny Vigi, due to a broken rib.

    He was stopped by Jack Sharkey (obviously no shame there).

    He was stopped by the heavy hitting Steve Hamas towards the end of his career.

    Comparing him to Roy Jones is preposterous!
