Wow. This is a great matchup and one I have not thought of before. Loughran for my money moved better and had the better left jab. However Charles forced the action, and was a fantastic in-fighter. This was Loughran's main weakness. I think Charles wins a close, but clear decsion.

Yes, this is why I like Charles :) Charles hit harder, and more skilled on the inside. If Loughran hit on par with other champions at light heavyweight, this this would be a pick em' type of match.

[Joe E]

loughran had fantastic boxing skills but as previously stated lacked punching power.ezzard charles in my opinion was the greatest light heavy ever,combining speed, boxing skill,a solid chin and a great punch at light heavy.i don't see charles knocking loughran out but i do see a close perhaps split decision for charles.great post:happy

[Duodenum]

I'm gonna be a chicken on this one. Tommy takes a split decision, but has to get off the deck to do it.

Loughran SD 15 Charles

Ezzard by a hair.

[Street Lethal]

I pick Charles. I think he's too strong and cagey.
