Many years later, yes. I was there. He still looked fabulous against Crawford Ashley, destroying him with body shots and less movement.
Awkward banger, nearly stopped Nunn in the 1st round. Very little fanfare, no TV other than Eurosport, but very athletic and strong and fit so a danger.
Victor Cordoba would've beat the **** out of, say, Byron Mitchell. He probably beats Liles and Kessler, and annihilates Park. Definitely beats Malinga, probably stops him.
He wouldn't have beaten Tony Thornton, though. Thornton was class, robbed against DeWitt and Collins and did better against Sosa and Tiberi than Toney did, very cute. Thornton was ranked #1 by the WBO and IBF, #2 by the WBC and #3 by the WBA at the time of facing Eubank and #5 by The Ring after the four champions.
Realistically though Billy Conn is in this list alongside Watson from Eubank II and Roy Jones and James Toney, and maybe Eubank.
In my humble opinion, if you watch the Eubank - Watson fight and you take from that, that Watson is the best SMW in history, then you do not understand the event.
How would Chong Pal Park defeat Michael Nunn or Nigel Benn, or Gerald McClellan or Mike McCallum, in your view? What did he do that was exceptional? And the proof is in the pudding regarding Watson v Eubank II.
