Title says it all, hes looked quality in some of his fights and has been some very solid operators at European level. I like to watch him fight and i think he can grab and european title at some stage.
I rate him a lot. He's a good fighter who hasn't been given the opportunities he probably deserves. I'd like to see him against Vassell which is a fight I'd fancy him to win and then hopefully pick up the vacant european should Matthew let it go.
He might be underrated by you brits. I rarely hear of him being talked about much on here. Watched a few of his recent fights lately, and hes more talented than i first thought he was. He has good boxing skill and his knockout ratio is a bit deceiving in relation to his power.
Haha I'm on my iPhone so have no link but it was in BN ages ago. I'm sure danny Flexen would corroborate it, I think it was him that interviewed Paul. I'll try and fnd a link 2moro maybe. He was talking about the unfairness of boxing, how a fighter who he rated like Watson couldn't get a fight(he couldn't at the time) yet the man he beat - Mad Matt Hatton was getting chances. Malignaggi was the same bill remember- htton lazcano
There is a lot of good matchups for Watson, even in britain alone. As well as fighting Vassell, he could take on Ashley Theopane or even Kell brook (should brook fail at world stage) Id give Craig a good chance in any of these matchups, even in a Brook fight. Malignaggi makes a few good points, in fairness to him. Watson seemes to be stranded in no mans land for a while after his loss to o Donnell
good skills, top 25, rank a level above mag**** hatton when he lost to fewkes i was pissed off as hell. it was a good trade match form memory, both gave loads of question to the other. both improved. nice 1-2, he can hit people but he isn't a big puncher, isn't a come foreward fighter and not a good finisher. so his ko % is/was never gonna be high.
Could possibly be the best welterweight in Britain. I'd fancy him over Matthew Hatton again and I think he would cause a lot of problems for Brook. Not that I would expect Brook to be put in with him though, too much risk with too little reward. Would be a great test though
only seen him fight 2 times when he Matt Hatton with quite a bit left in him and Hatton done well since when he beat Mr crush for the light middlewieht commenwealth title(could take much from that) Whom is his promotor?
