    Against Jackson,which he would have done had he not gone in for the kill and left himself open.do you think he would have had a decent reign at the top ? And how highly do u rate him ?

    He didn't have the best chin to start off with but without a doubt Jackson cracked it and affected Graham mentally.
    Hard to come back from those sort of losses.

    He was some boxer tho wasn't he ?
    I think if he would have won that fight he would have been champ for a couple of years or a couple of times but that ko was horrific,it definitely affected him mentally

    If he could have he would have. The temperament is what got him on his way

    It would depend on his career choices. Jackson kept the title because he fought dross, even when the division was stacked with talent.
    Graham's style didn't flatter a man in his thirties. I think he would have lost if he fought a lot of the top boys back then.

    He was a class act!

    He was desperately unlucky.

    In today's era, he would definitely have been a world champ, IMHO.

    Very good fighter just not quite good enough, had his chances and didnt take them.
    Very poor stoppage vs brewer you may say a british stoppage

    I think he was good enough, he was just desperately unlucky that's all. The competition he fought was immense.

    All the guys he lost to, would be major forces today.

    Mike would probably rule JMW and MW.

    If Herol was around today, he'd definitely have got a belt.

    It's a joke that he didn't get a belt, when we've seen the likes of Chavez Jr recently walking around with one.

    Also, Herol was 38-39 when he lost to Brewer, and he started off great.
