    I imagine Graham outboxes him. Graham could get the best of him at a distance with his quicker, more accurate, and active jab; and he did fairly well avoiding Gavilan's volleys, so I don't see Honeyghan outworking him in the manner he did Curry. Billy could also take Lloyd's best. It would be interesting the whole way through though.

    Graham outboxes the socks off Honeyghan....and doesn't even get his hair mussed up.

    I'm going graham as well although I certainly have a better grasp on honeyghan. Just styles wise graham seems the sort of guy who could beat lloyd.

    I saw Billy Graham fight from his prelim days to his prime days and he had everything a great fighter had except a knockout punch. A great classic boxer with a true iron chin who was never ko'd in 126 bouts, and seldom if ever floored.
    He more than held his own with Gavilan, Basillio and the MW Giardello. Too marvelous a boxer to lose to Honeyghan...
