Michael Watson vs joe calzaghe

Just felt like throwing this here:

Just felt like throwing this here:

Oh, that. I knew this Fury guy was hype from the first time I saw him at boxrec. All size and intimidation. I've also seen a fight of his, vs Lee Swaby. Looked pretty mediocre against a faded nobody. Well his found out now he got an English title he lost on points, don't know what the ref was watching. I only got to see him live last night, he needs to stiffen his jab never used his reached was out jabbed by the smaller man, but it was his first 10 rounder anyways we'll see can he go for British title after the rematch my imo is he'll never make it out of the UK & maybe won't win a British title.

No, what sticker? NP: Iron Maiden-Weekend Warrior Mcdermott/Fury, Mcdermott was robbed Fury is still too green at the mo id b surprised if didn't win a British title in his career

Yea, he was entertaining. Outside the ring. Thats why they loved him. But once the bell rang, he wasn't that entertaining any more. He had a very cautious style, didnt like that. Agreed. But im going to go with Calzaghe over Watson & the rest his speed of hand & foot has a dig & as one poster pointed out work rate & the man can adapt to anything in a fight something to see, especially in 12 rounds Ps Will hit you some k when this 24 hour thing is up. See the sticker last night?

I've been busy, as you can see. Busy dodging the boulders flung at me.:D Nothing new here. Eubank was overated. Even in his prime. Solid fighter fo sure but not great. Benn beat him the second time, common knowledge. Watson and Collins also beat him, ofc. I see that alright you back in the green. Well i remember being a kid watching the fight thought Benn beat him, well he did if you this point been taken off seemed to saved Eubank, but Nigel won that fight. Eubank should't get into the ring when he knows his going to be beat alla Collins fight, they all had a piece of Chris whatever anyone thinks, Eubank was just a counter puncher mostly the rest wanted to mix it far more entertaining

Easy fight for Calzaghe :wave: Not easy. Michael was a terrific boxer. But Joe beats anyone at or around his weight, I don't really care who it is. 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

Oy mate, where have ya been?:) Ive been busy man, only dropping in when i get a chance. Hows things with you. Seems this Watson thing will never be settled, but little the post above work rate from Calzaghe would beat him & that speed but to suggest Eubank beat i don't agree.

Calzaghe by UD. Work rate would be too much.

Princeman, is that you?:lol1: I had it 116-112 Watson. 8 rounds to 4. Can't understand why people can't come round to the idea of Watson, being 1 of the greatest in the UK not to win a title He was pupil of the sport not like others who are held high without a title, i hear Herold Graham the Finnegan's mentioned a lot but Watson won it, or was 3 mins from getting his just rewards, if they give a title to Rubin Carter for his fight for freedom they should be giving 1 to Micheal Watson, the best of lot. He won the first Eubank fight, everyone thought so & the journalist's agree & Mike McCallum saw it for Watson if his wrong ah well. The rematch was just a case of too many hard fights without more time out, in my eyes Watson is champ & what a man.

Watson would have had Victor Cordoba, Benn and Nunn to contend with in '92. Cordoba was Barney Eastwood-promoted and decent, but wouldn't have been a problem for the Watson that fought Eubank at White Hart Lane (in that frame of mind and physical condition).

Watson: I remember being in total control – everywhere Chris wanted to be, I was there. When I put him down in the 11th round and went back to my corner, the press asked me to come straight over when I had that belt round my waist. But after the punch in the next round, I went over and everything turned dark. I woke up after 40 days and 40 nights in a coma to find myself in a different world. When I was at my peak, I was around celebrities. Now, suddenly, I was surrounded by sick people. It became a nightmare. I never knew where I was and I couldn't understand what had happened. After a week I realised and started to come to terms with how sick I was. I knew I wasn't going to box again. I had been a shy child – a bit soft. My mother said that if a fly came near my face I would start crying. But boxing changed me. From the moment I put on a pair of gloves, aged 14, I was doing something I had a natural gift for. I became independent and confident, and by the time I started competing at championship level, I was the main man. I was unbeatable. I was paralysed and still semi-conscious when a couple of friends came in and told me I had a visitor. When this large figure walked into the room I could tell instantly it was Muhammad Ali. He looked at me and said, "Wow, are you Michael Watson? Are you really Michael Watson?" His eyeballs were popping out of his head. "You look so good – you look pretty. But nobody's prettier than me." I couldn't hold my expression and burst out laughing. It was the first sound I had made. Ali had been my inspiration and for him to visit me helped me turn the corner and realise I'd be OK. A lot of people who retire from sport no longer have a goal. They have doubts in their mind. Why did it happen to them? They don't know what their life stands for any more. My goal was first to recover – to prove the doubters wrong – and now my purpose on this Earth is to inspire people. I ran the London Marathon to inspire and raise money for the less privileged. Of course there have been moments of sadness, when I'm alone in the dark and have flashbacks of how I used to be. But I still have the confidence and self-esteem that boxing gave me. Those dark times can dampen my spirits. But sometimes you have to forget the past and look forward to the future. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/when-pain-stops-play-1777057.html

didnt eubank say hed fancy watson 2nd fight over roy jones? When........

didnt eubank say hed fancy watson 2nd fight over roy jones?

The Watson who fought McCallum would give Calzaghe his toughest fight. And that was Watson at his worst.

Eubank just got lucky both times against Watson. First time he was lucky enough to get that rotten decision, since he had already become a household name in UK and Watson hadn't, despite beating Benn two years earlier. I therefore put Michael Watson as the most underated boxer ever on my list. Remember? The second time it was a miracle that saved Eubank from defeat, to put it that way although that sounds wrong in the context of what happened later. I think either Watson or Calzaghe could win. Or it would be a draw. If it happened in say, 1996 or 97, then I don't know if Watson would still be as good and strong as he was 1989-91. But sadly, we never got to find out.:( What a huge loss to the sport of boxing, British boxing especially. One more thing; lets not forget Watson had 21 KO's of 25 wins on his record, so that means he would have a chance of stopping Calzaghe. Although with Joe's chin I doubt he would. He could hurt him tho. Eubank just got lucky both times against Watson. First time he was lucky enough to get that rotten decision Id say thats a slight exaggeration, did you not give Eubank at least 5 rounds of the 1st fight ?
