Eventhough he almost did the impossible...stop Eubank in their rematch?
Wen i finally saw that fight recently i was very very impressed with Watson.
Plus of course he stoppped Benn. I think he could of gone on to do great things.
He did look pretty damn strong on that tragic night, looked real good that fateful night, yeah. But, nobody gave him a chance against Benn - not even his own team! He only beat Benn because Benn fought like a berk - punching arms and gloves until burned out. Though yeah, Watson did look good in the process (even though all he had to was tuck up, and counter when Benn finished a flurry of arm/glove punches).
Watson was average, look how average he looked in the McCallum fight and first Eubank fight. There were rumours him using drugs and hypnosis for the second Eubank fight..
