Will there ever be another defensive fighter from Britain who is as good, possibly even better than Graham? I feel like I've really missed out on the golden era of British boxing in the early 90s and I'd love to see the same class/caliber come out of Britain again.
Chris Eubank is one of the best defensive fighters from the 80's-90's era....:yep Herol Graham was unique...one of a kind, only one person boxed like Graham... and that was Graham...:good...
Chris Eubank had perhaps teh worst footwork in terms of punching i have ever seen in a top class fighter, im surprised he didnt fall flat on his face when he missed! a good shout just not as smooth and aesthetically pleasing as Graham
You are more likely to see more Ricky Hattons. There is a need to sell tickets, impress TV and make money. That is why you see what you see.
good point actually a brawler can get that fan base and maybe get boosted up and take easier fights and get a better career. A defensive figther has to be really really good to get to a high level. They actually have to be better than a brawler.
Good shout. Unfortunately he'll only be remembered by many casual fans for getting ****ing banjoed by Julian Jackson. What they don't remember is that Graham was taking Jackson to school completely. I didn't see it live but I'd say it was even more shocking and sickening to watch as it happend. Top notch fighter though
Herol Graham was at his best a 'fast cutie' rather than 'Defensive genius'. I think defensively, post World War II no one in Britain is topping Ken Buchanan.
