The only way Peter stops Loughran is if he gets away with his perpetual rabbit punching wth his right hand,he has never impressed me ,and the fact that he gave Wlad life or death bodes ill for the Heavyweight division imo.Peter was floored by an average puncher a 38 year old with stamina problems who has fell at every big hurdle he has faced.
Never said Loughran lost to all big men SQ but that he could be beaten by them. Why not post the whole thread next time?
As a new comer to this board, you will learn that Suizeq can add some positive stuff, but he has some double standards and sometimes chops replies in half.
I think Loughran would win a wide decision. I agree with this fight being similar to the Loughran vs Baer.
Give me a break. Baer was a lazy fighter who was too lazy to even use his jab and size to is advantage. Baer did not try to win sometimes. He simply went through the motions in many rounds. Peter does not pull sunts and clown around like Baer did. I can not beleive posters here think Loughran would defeat Peter. It took Wlad a lot to defeat Peter, and he's much bigger, better, faster, and strogner than Loughran ever was.
Wlad may have all those attributes over Loughran, but what does Peter have over Baer? Weight that about it. And do you have any proof that Baer was undertrained or trained lazy against Loughran or is that just an assumption? Baer wins over Schmeling and Carnera > Samuel Peter whole career PS Wlad ain't nowhere near as fast as Loughran
BIG DEE HERE= Peter is faster than Tommy Loughran who you kidding. Peter is as slow as they come while Loughran was a fast, fast master boxer with a rapier like jab. Loughran was a underrated puncher with his right hand when he wanted to really hit with it. At the start of Loughran`s career he was a KO puncher and then he broke his right hand then he became a master boxer to save his hands. As far as the fight with Primo Carnera he would have won the fight and the title if Carnera hadn`t stomped on his foot and broke his big toe in the 3rd rd. Tommy`s other toes were injured also by Carnera`s big feet. I give the fight to Loughran in a 10 ro 12 rd dec. and if it were a 15 rds he would probabily KO Peter as he would be completely out of gas and falling down. MAX BAER WOULD KO PETER IN 6 RDS. BAER WAS TO FAST FOR THE SLOW ASS PETER. NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK PETER IS SLOOOOWWW.
Peter has a mean streak that Baer lacked. His jab is much better, and he swings for the fences often instead of mugging and messing about. Again, it took one of Wlad's best efforts to beat Peter. Wlad has a long and hard jab, and a much harder right than Loughran. Loughran's power would rate as kitten like at heavyweight. In addition, Wlad moved well the entire match, and had the strength to tie Peter up in the clinches. I also think Wlad' shand speed is better than Loughran's on flim. Loughran is a good boxer, but he there is no way he could get Peter's respect with his jab or right, or tie Peter up. Louhgran's defense is decent enough on film, but he is also a bit stiff and upright, with little head movement. Loughran was not Jim Corbett or Jimmy Young. That much is certian. Nor was he as good as blocking and coutnering as Toney was. We are talking about three different weight classes here. Unless Loughran pulls off a technically brilliant performance where he can navigate in and out of Peter's longer reach and intimidation, then score without being nailed round after round, he would lose.
Speak For yourself Mendoza, Anyone who posts here regulary knows mendoza as the ridicidulous klitschko's nuthugger who has a huge bias agenda against certain eras. Old Fogey And MarcianoFrasier school you all the time. You add some positive stuff too in the european section, but lets be fair.
A 19 year old Tommy Loughran outboxed gene tunney according to newspaper reports(a fighter u adore) so he cant be that bad.
