Default Help with old (prewar) boxing photos/autograph

Posted By: D. Bergin

The Loughran looks good to me. A little sloppy at the end as already noted but the rest matches up very nicely.

Loughran is a Boxing Hall of Famer and a very good fighter. I've never heard of him having a "glass jaw". He was only knocked out or TKO'd 3 times in 175+ fights. One was due to broken ribs when he was 17 and he often fought guys much bigger then himself.

His autograph isn't particularly rare and he doesn't have much of a following unfortunately.


There are a few examples at Craig Hamiltons website here:

The other photos might auction on ebay in the $10-20 range if lucky.
