jeez,u could of had a separate fight in the the ring with the amount of distance there woulda been between these 2...
Herol was Very Hard to Outbox at Lightmiddle, Very Hard Indeed, Herol would have found Cory's conventional Style more readable the Cory would Herol, and Cory does not have the big punch to "Do a Jacko !) Herol on Points with Cory joining the Queue of fellow Graham victims left scratching their heads on how to cope with him.
Herol Graham gave J.J alot of problems until he got careless and got KO'ed. Graham's speed would give Spinks alot of problems and would win a comfortable 12 rounds UD over Spinks.
While i cannot tell you with any certainty who will win, i can tell you with absolute certainty who will lose. The observers.
The comments above were what was said prior to Kalambay and Nunn , cannonballs quote coming from Mickey Duff. You never know it might have been exciting .......... or maybe not. But graham wins easily and if Judah can stop Spinks, so could Graham
Graham's style may have been unorthodox and certainly not to everyone's taste, but he was rarely ever a safety first fighter like Spinks is. Most of his fights against opponents that weren't totally overmatched were entertaining, with him taking risks, mixing it up and throwing a lot of punches.
Problem with Graham was that most people capable of beating him weren't interested. The only ones that fought him were either in need of cash, hadn't done their research or were in a world title fight. He would stand Spinks (and any other current LMW-SMW) on their head.
Herol Graham was somewhat avoided by many because of his style in the 80's even Marvin Hagler admitted he wanted nothing to do with Graham at middleweight, i have to say , Cory is a class lower than a prime Graham, he doesn't come close.. Herol wins by any means necessary.....
dont get me wrong,graham was one of the better fighters not to win a world title. perhaps i just recall too many of grahams fights when i was watching them as a kid on sportsnight and never appreciated his sublime defensive skills. was rooting for him in the brewer fight,he was desperately unlucky not to clinch the title in the twighlight of his career
His main problem was his ego. Despite having excellent defence, on a par with Whitaker almost, he wasn't backed up by a particularly good chin. The mainstream in Britain tend to look on those kind of fighters with disdain, therefore for this reason he felt he had to fight big bangers in an aggressive manner rather than his usual 'stand them on their head' style. Chasing a needless KO against Jackson just summed that up. The fight would have been called off at the end of the 4th.
