Heavyweight Talk From Oscar Fraley On Loughran S View
Tommy Loughran, once light heavyweight champion and later Wall Street sugar broker, argues today that modern heavyweights would top any era but could not all be champions. He predicts Charles would beat Walcott if they rematch and Louis could reclaim the title against Walcott. He also backs Turpin over Sugar Ray Robinson in a Polo Grounds rematch and praises Irish Bob Murphy as the era’s greatest fighter. Maxim vs Murphy will test that claim on Aug 22.
