Douglas beat Benn in the amateurs and was like clubber lang.
Didn't Douglas finish because of a Brain injury? He does lose to Graham and that is no disgrace , but I think he would've come again and had a top career.
Infact, it baits the question that perhaps Benn and Eubank would've had different careers if they had come across Herrol Graham? Eubank has famously already stated what he thought of Graham.
Yes Douglas had to have an operation after the fight and could never fight again.
I always maintained that Graham would have beaten Eubanks, Benn and Watson.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
