Tommy Loughran vs. Dwight Muhammad Qawi

I know that the styles can come into it , and Qawi was very strong , and great h2h . But imo , Loughran is one of the very best LHWs ever , and he would be able to outbox Qawi and win a decision here

 

First keep in my mind that my veiwing history of loughran is limited...and I would rather see Matthew saad Muhammad fight him stylisticaly...2nd from a Philly perspective my heart want's loughran...after all what is Camden but a poor mans Philly...

I see Braxton taking this in about 11

 

Loughran. His footwork and boxing style would see him to a comfortable UD. He was very fluid and very slick, a very sharp boxer. Qawi was sort of like a smaller, slower Frazier, but I see Loughran's height and reach playing well with his style against someone like Qawi.

 

Good examples except for Spinks..If you mean michael he badly out boxed Qawi..i don't know if Loughran has the necesary foot spped??? If you mean leon..well that was a horriblr fight where leon would not move at all no matter how much his corner begged..it was like heavy bag practice...not sure either of those works?

 

But Loughran fought in a better era than Qawi did at 175 , and he did great , he was able to outbox stronger guys than Qawi aswell

 

Loughran was said to be dull but virtually unhittable. Kind of like a bigger Willie Pep but not as an exciting style. Qawi's aggression would not be that effective here.

Loughran by UD

 

Loughran 26 to 28 is IMO severley... no; criminally underrated. Braxton was a fine offensive machine and their styles would mesh real well, both would enjoy the bout, but Loughran would it enjoy more, as he would win.

Loughran WU15 (10-5)

 

I read this thing once , cant remember where , but it said that basically , if Loughran ever hit a guy with a right hand , they went over , he had great power in it . But he broke his and early in his career and focused on using his jab . It said that is the reason he had such a great jab , and also why he had such a low ko rate . Dont know how truee this is , but just thought id see if any1 else read that aswell

 

Yeah Qawi fought in a very good era at 175 aswell , an underrated era by some , i just was making the point that Loughran could deal with big strong guys . Your right saying that the big guys that Loughran fought would not have been as relentless as Qawi , but he did get a decision over Baer though , a focused Baer is a very good/great fighter. Still not the same style as Qawi , but very agressive . And Loughran was said to have done well (maybe deserved a decision over) Greb , imo regardless of size , is a harder man to handle than Qawi.

I get your point aswell , i didnt think you were trying to discredit Loughran either . It is hard to call stylistically , but i really rate Loughran high as a master boxer , i think he would win it imo

 

I never said that Greb would take Qawi h2h , i said that Greb could possibly be a harder guy for Loughran to handle , Greb's pressure was supposedly unbeleivable , and a very dirty fighter aswell . You never know if Greb could take Qawi though , possible ???
Dont know about Hagler/Qawi , Qawi would make that a war , and what a war it would be !! Maybe just too big though
