    I ****ing love both.

    Expect a rerun of Graham-Jackson.

    Benn would get to him sooner or later...probably after being totally out boxed up to that point.

    Benn. Graham may of been able to tie up and frustrate a pre Watson Benn. Making him miss and wrestle up close to tire Benn late. But even then i see Benn getting to him at some point.There's no way you could hang your chin out, the way Graham did, against Benn for 12.

    I think prime over 12 rounds Graham might well have made it over the finishing line without getting sparked and got a points win.

    He would have to make it ugly.

    He was good at that, he could be pretty boring to watch on occasion.

    Graham clear ud. How many times out of 10 do you think he'd beat Jackson?

    Benn was a much better fighter to watch, but I think Herol would make him look very amateurish on his way to a wide decision. It would be hideous to watch with Graham running/jabbing/holding.

    Graham wins, and EASILY.

    Benn wouldn't catch him, and even if he did, he doesn't punch as hard as Jackson.

    If Benn got one on his whiskers it would be game over... It's just getting the shot on the whiskers...! I could see Bomber frustrating the hell out of Benn for a points decision... Although I don't think that it would be great to watch... an ugly win...:yep

    I'm a HUGE Benn fan but this is a nightmare for Benn, no-one ever wanted to fight Graham. Ugly to watch, hard to beat, good fighter.

    Graham is bettered probably only by JC , just , but he was just too fragile around the whiskers , against a prime benn it would over very quickly , benn would have gone after him like he did against Barkley and stopped him early , if graham was allowed to get any rhythm benn doesnt win a round .
