    If Herol Grahm was as good as everyone thinks he was he would have won a world title but unfortunately he didnt have the touness to go with his skill. Even Khan knows how to get through a fight (sometimes).

    Ben and Eubank have both come from being behind to doing serious damage to their opponents, Graham would have been no different.

    Eubank got bashed up in sparring by Graham and decided he would never fight Graham as he could not hit him.

    Benn was fearless but his management (Ambrose Mendy) thought he would lose.

    Watson never showed any interest either.

    Graham during this time lost to McCallum, ref unfairly deducted a point off him, which would have meant a draw, beat Douglas who was another version of Benn and lost to Julian Jackson so could not command the big fights.

    I can see what you're saying, but Graham was a tad unlucky.

    He got sparked by arguably the hardest hitting boxer p4p in history, then had to tussle with a true ATG in Mike McCallum & his last title tilt was when he was nearly 40 & he still managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    That is the story of Herol Graham snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, has there been anyone unluckier?

    I think GGG probably beats him but stylewise he would love GGG to come at him and would be fun to watch.

    Graham would beat Saunders, Junior, Lee, Jacobs and Quillin.
