Most promising prospects to fall short?

Herol Graham was a great enigma

If you look at his losses.......

Sumbu Kalambay I - very close UD loss that could have gone either way
Mike McCallum - close SD loss, point deduction for low blows cost him a draw.
Julian Jackson - boxing clinic until miracle KO
Sumbu Kalambay II - ditto first fight
Frank Grant - limited fighter with a puncher's chance, which he took
Charles Brewer - 2 KD's by Graham but KO'd whilst infront

From the Jackson fight onwards, it was all down hill due to a deterioration in his relationship with Brendan Ingle, women trouble and pressure from public and media to prove he could go toe to toe with a puncher and emerge victorious

Undoubtedly the most ducked fighter of this (perhaps any) generation and certainly the best fighter not to win a world title in the alphabet era IMO

 

Ward? I don't get that one at all.
