He was like many before him searching for something he had lost ie his career/life.
He also hails from a tough part of London were the rents and living costs are massive where you fight your way out or like many turn to 'crime' which on that manner moving a bit of powder is as normal a thing as moving second hand cars.
Graham is a victim of the harsh reality that is boxing draws you in chews you up and in most cases spits you out.
If he had topped himself we would all be saddened I believe we should be saddened by his imprisonment.
We all make mistakes and some us pay and some of us dont he was a game as fella who wasn't the sharpest tool in the box I'm sure he was ideal as a stash house or foot soldier I would be amazed if he was the master mind given the hammer he took in his career.
Isn't Graham Earl from Luton? Still pretty rough there too...
Wasn't Charles Bronson from Luton?

fornicate that. Go get a job in costa coffee. Drug dealing isn't acceptable, hard done by boxer or not.
Ultimately, the supposed 'cruelty' of boxing can't be blamed for everything. Personal responsibility.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with boxing. He just happens to be an ex boxer.

Totally mickey. It's just tj77 is suggesting we should be saddened that a drug dealer got sent to prison.
And I don't buy into the whole rough environment = a future in crime theory.
No disrespect to anyone mind.

Wasn't Lorraine Chase from Luton? The plot thickens.
