    I love Loughran, if it wasn't for the colour-line business, he'd be one of my all time favourite fighters. Sadly, he ain't, but I still like him.

    Very underrated, I have him at #4 at LHW, and #20 P4P. Probably top 7/8 H2H at 175.

    ATG jab, possibly the best ever... old school style of defence, more about the positioning of one's arms and feet, and simply not being there to hit. Fleet footed, granite chinned. Possibly the best pure boxer in history. He does, as most like him do, have a Conteh-esc tendancy to over-rely on his jab and defence.

    I'm pretty positive Michael would have beaten Saad, but prime MSM would have given it his whole life. It would have been a sensational fight to watch imo.

    Yeah, Qawi's definitely one of my all-time favorite fighters. Amazing combination of skill, slickness, and aggression.

    He even gave comeback George more trouble than he planned for before inevitably succumbing.
