how good was herol grahame

[Sam Donald]

was he a true beast

what was his best asset

[taansend]

I remember when he lost to Kalambay - who was a decent fighter but Graham should have won that. He underestimated him and paid the price.

As for his title shots, well he lost to a great great fighter in McCallum & the hardest puncher* in history (in my opinion) in Jackson.

Graham was a very good fighter with great skill & reflexes but I'm not sure if he had the true hunger to have what it takes.

Nice man though.



* - maybe I should say the most concussive puncher in history.

what was his best asset

His defense was his best asset. He didn't have much of a punch and was very awkward. He was a very good fighter that would have won a title in 90% of other eras and been a really good champ.

This post nails it. Graham falls into the category of one of the best fighters never to win a title. Nigel Benn would not fight him and put him in the "Who needs him" category. He was very awkward and make any fighter look bad.

There was once a highlight video of him on Youtube as well as a clip of him dodging punches. Very good fighter who was in a very strong era of middleweights but still gave the likes of McCallum a tough fight.

Should've really won it against Brewer but it just wasn't to be.

hardest p4p puncher sounds spot on when describing jackson. he was in a damn corner and on the back foot when he removed graham from consciousness.

"that's what we were worried about!"
"****, there you go!"

The commentary had me laughing

The worst part, at least for Graham anyway, and what I find a bit sad was that it was at the end of the round and they were going to stop the fight in the corner of Jackson after it. He literally pulled it out seconds before Graham was going to win.
