    I always thought Graham was a cut above Eubank, Benn and Watson.

    Graham would bottle it. He always bottled it at the final hurdle.

    He'd either lose a close decision in a boring fight which there'd be do demand for a rematch so would become another 'what if' of Graham's career or he'd get KO'ed after outboxing Eubank for a while before getting caught with his hands down.

    Graham was harder to hit than Watson and Benn.

    I think he had a great excuse against Jackson, he was boxing his ears off and got caught by one of the greatest knockout punches in history, he didn`t choke at all, Eubank never faced a puncher with hands as fast as Jackson`s, McCallum said Jackson had the fastest hand speed he ever faced, far faster than Watson and he punched even hardr than Benn.

    I think you said Bruno would have beat Wlad which had me very confused.

    I am aware of that, but it still didn’t stop him losing every time he stepped up against higher level opposition.

    I would fancy Herol Graham to win a comfortable decision in this one. He just has too much boxing skill and versatility for Eubank.

    Eubank does what he does well, but is too easy to read and Graham can dominate most of the rounds.

    Eubank wasn't on the same level as Kalambay and McCallum at 160 and didn't punch anywhere near as hard as Jackson.

    This has nailed the subject. Eubank would barely touch top-form Bomber Graham.

    how is barely losing to hof/atg, that the others duck "bottling it"?

    u got a funny definition of bottling it. You sound like a little boy in his mums basement to be fair.

    Someone's been triggered I see. Your boy was a nearly man, a great talent who was formidable at British and Euro level but ultimately a nearly man who at the highest level even when he was cruising in a fight would snatch defeat from the jaws of victory like he did against Jackson and Brewer.

    let me know sometime why i'm triggered, since you are the first of six replies who sided against graham that I replied to. I wasnt triggered by any of them.


    and while u are at it u might explain why bottling it is barely losing to hof/atg that the others bottled out of facing, cos u sure didnt in your last post despite being pulled up about it. Thats why u been replied to, for gross stupidity.

    Eubank didn't even fight at the highest level.
    Graham was a nearly man, that's true. But Eubank wasn't even that. Eubank never faced a top middleweight. Ever.
