When he was a late substitute for Herol Graham to fight Don Lee,the dangerous switchitting American who Herol was supposed to be fighting in a WBA world title eliminator,nobody gave Watson a chance in hell. Only then he did stand and trade and show worldclass skills,before the Don Lee fight Watson was very ordinary. He gave McCallum everything he could handle,but was never the same after that beating. Really,outside of the Benn fight(which like I say was probably the finest display of tucking up and counterpunching I saw from anybody),Watson wasnt anything special and never used that peekaboo style.
    wot about eubank/watson 2 ?? eubank says that watson was almost unbeatable that night, the closest thing to superhuman that eubank has ever known in a boxing ring. eubank had 2 almost kill him to stop him ! watson did'nt look 2 good in the first eubank fight until eubank got tired, but that was more 2 do with gettin 2 grips with eubank who had the most unorthodox style in boxing

        Felix Trinidad is a better fighter than Benn or Eubank ever were.

        And there is absolutely no arguing with that.

            Just a better overall fighter.

            Faced and demolished much stiffer opposition in the States.

              Hatton is more skilled than Calzaghe. Hatton is one of the most skilled fighters I've seen, and if you disagree that he's extremely skillful then I suggest you leave this board because you haven't got a ****ing clue.

              And Tszyu was lb4lb #1 going into the Hatton fight, according to many.

              You ******.

                That we can agree on because Hatton hasn't shown his best form for years and is already past his best..

                  Yeah that was Don Lee, Manny was working his corner.

                  Lee was the most dangerous and avoided middleweight of the early-to-mid 80's.
                  A young Gerald McClellan was in London, working as Lee's sparring partner (this was actually before McClellan knew Manny Steward, before he joined the Kronk).

                    I am just curious as to who, besides Lacy, has Calzaghe beaten to be top ten P4P, I believe I read that someone had him at number three.

                      Eubank had the potential to be better than any Felix Trinidad. But the Benn fight took almost everything out of him, and the Watson fight was the final straw. He was only in it for the money after Benn I, and even more so after Watson II.
