This was a really impressive performance considering how shot Graham had looked against Grant before his initial retirement six years...
What are the fights you have in mind that his skills and defence were bad, or "devolved into just looking for home runs". Been a long time since I...

Yeah, he was a very talented boxer-puncher, a bit of an old-school Archie Moore trap setting type. Just not any support structure around him and...
I can't remember specific comments, but it was full of older west coast guys that had been deeply involved in various ways while he was active and...
