    Herol would be outboxing his foe early on, but Hamsho's constant pressure and bruising style would gradually wear Graham down.

    yeah this would be untidy at times graham and hamsho would both be marked up as the heads would clash as the fighters could both at times lunge in .in america it may favour hamsho and in europe graham .myself if both fight to thier peak levels i think graham wins a decision victory in this one

    Don't think mauling, cuffing pressure fighters without big power like Hamsho or Vito match up well with Graham at all.

    his style is perfect for them, it would probably take guys in the upper echelons of that style to beat him decisively.

    I don't believe Graham was the stylist he's often made out to be, and had glaring flaws that a top technician could exploit.However he was very, very strong and probably is actually underrated as a roughousing spoiler kind of fighter, because he fought off the backfoot most of the time.A master at spinning and manhandling opponents, with much better combinations and straight shots than this type of fighter usually has.

    Hamsho will keep coming straight at him and be easily matched for dirty tactics when he gets close, continually spun and thrown about(graha probly gets a point or two taken off in a lot of his fights if they were outside Britain) and beaten in most of the exchanges due to Graham's more fluid and accurate punching.
