    Gotta be Watson for me with Herol Graham a close second.. Just look at the performances against Eubank and Benn and it's beyond me how this guy didn't win a world title..:huh

    well....taking nelson as a form line...if cowdell is mentioned here, you could give jim mac donnell a mention too maybe ?....although he was soundly hammered by nelson, brave as you'll ever see though...
    but cowdell did run sanchez close, so i dunno..

    Cowdell was past his best when he fought Nelson, as well as fighting at featherweight for the first time in years. I don't think McDonnell's record can match some of Cowdell's wins.
