      Watson is one of the most under-rated boxers ever and his career was cut so short, extremely smooth and very versatile. He was screwed out of the 1984 Olympic Games, beat silver-medalist Shawn O'Sullivan at the Canada Cup earlier in the year by a wider points margin than gold-medalist Frank Tate managed. Beat Kronk's best prospect Don Lee more impressively than much-hyped Michael Olajide had managed. Made poor opposition look worse than they were in four years of barely breaking a sweat and coming out of fights without a mark on him as he waited frustratingly for championship fights.. finally getting his chance to shine in the spotlight when matched with Nigel Benn.

                      Ali was the greatest man to ever box. Not the best boxer though, or even the best heavyweight.
