    Fury 1: fought a good fight but was outpointed by the bigger man
    Helenius: awful decision, first grade robbery
    Vitali: dominated from the start to the end
    Haye: KTFO
    Fury 2: hammered for 10 rounds
    Pulev: dominated by Pulevs jab, it wasn't a SD, it should have been an UD
    Whyte 1: fought a great fight, should have won
    Kabayel: horrible fight, maybe the worst performance EVER by Delboy
    Whyte 2: fought a great fight, was up on the cards, lucky punch set the KO, very unlucky.

    Only in terms of the Whyte fight, Graham like Chisora was aggressively beating Julian Jackson who was a pwerful puncher like Whyte, both of them got caught staying on the center line and being knocked out by one beautiful punch. Chis has never lost to anyone even close to the level of McCallum though and Graham only lost that one by split decision.

    Sounds more like Frank Bruno than Graham.

    He's been unlucky in a couple of bouts (Helenius and Whyte) and just plain lazy in others (Kabayel). He's not someone who dominates everyone and suddenly gets knocked out at the last second. He's a tough, seasoned veteran who wins some and loses some.

    Cunningham has more of a claim to being a HW Herol Graham.

    Graham was better than Chisora.

    chisora is a journeyman who was artificially given exposure by the Klitschkos using him for another soft defence. In any era except this one hes just a spirited top twentier. Graham was a top contender in his prime.

    A decent, tough seasoned pro who is comfortably outside the elite category but still game and dangerous.

    He was unlucky in the Whyte fights (first with decision and second being about even but taking a demon shot that could put anyone out).

    I'd like to see a fully fit and focussed Delboy fight Joe Parker, because I think they're about the same level.
