Herol Graham never did any roadwork and never did any sparring, he just did 20 rounds of body sparring every day. He never punched to the body in his fights though because he knew that he had never sparred with anybody who was trying to punch him in the head and so he was not prepared enough to punch to the body in fights (even though he did 20 rounds of body sparring every day!). Still with me..? The reason that Graham did body sparring was because he felt that if you could learn and master how to dodge body punches then how is anybody going to be able to land head punches on you? It's like 10 times harder to land to the head than it is to the body, and wherever your body goes your head goes with it. Graham was getting better and better over time at avoiding body punches (due to more and more experience of body sparring), and so he was automatically more difficult to hit to the head in his fights. Graham would just capitalise on opponents missed punches, that was his style. He says he didn't ever need to do any proper sparring.
Herol also developed a 'bottom-heavy' physique that helped him with his style, the only weight-training he did was squats.

Chris Eubank says that his boxing skills were developed learning martial arts, he trained for martial arts for two years. He had a 20-0 record by 1990 in professional boxing, through learning martial arts! He says it helped him with weight distribution etc. Eubank claims that he could never of been as good as he was at boxing if it wasn't for his martial arts training in the late 1980's.

Kostya Tszyu had training methods that included lots of gymnastics, tying a tennis ball to his head by string and trying to keep hitting it, using coins to try and swipe from the back of his hand and catch to help his reflexes, and punching held up newspapers but instead of punching through the newspaper he would whip his hand back as fast as he could and try to rip it without punching through it (to develop speed).

I remember that Julian Jackson fight...





















































Just playin, Graham was NOWHERE near his prime, I think a Herol Graham in his prime would have dominated the 80's Hagler...

I remember that Julian Jackson fight...

Herol looked phenonimal against Jackson, Jackson didn't land a single punch in the entire fight until Graham went on the front foot for the first time in his life and walked into one Jackson bomb for his troubles. Lights out.

Nobody 'dominates' 80-85 Hagler, come on dude.

But the Graham of 86 has a very good chance against the Hagler of 86.

And if Michael Nunn had fought Hagler instead of Leonard fighting Hagler, then Nunn would of won every round.
