    I can't say with any certainty he'd beat any of them.
    Possibly Eubank,who's workrate might let him down.

    He could beat any on any given night and plenty of others to but Herol wasn't the luckiest fighter and any of the fighters mentioned could beat him too.I think his lack of power might mean he would struggle to stop simpson and benn from attacking him late .the others might out work him or in Eubanks case dominate him physically and stop him.

    He beats them all except Benn IMO, he hung his chin out way too much for my liking at that would cost him against Benn.

    He'd toy with Eubank.

    I believe Sibson beat him as an amateur.

    That could cost him against Sibson also.

    I think Eubank would be the easiest fight for Herol. I'd make Herol a favourite.
    The others are more 50-50.

    My guess is he'd win some and lose some. Herol Graham was the type of fighter with the kind of career where it was too hard to decisively pick him over anyone decent-great . He didn't have much power, had very limited quality wins and didn't meet anyone really good until later in his career which in most cases he lost. Ayoub Kalule and a blown up Pazienza are very likely his best wins, unless you feel he was robbed in some of his fights against guys like Kalambay or McCallum. I didn't see those so I can't say for sure.

    The McCallum fight was very close, but Mike just edged it for me, a point deduction cost Graham in that fight, he lost to Kalambay first time but was robbed blind the second time and he would have beat Jackson if he stayed focused. I think he'd be a handful for most LMW's and MW's, not that I'd be quick to pick him over them.
