England has produced it's fair share of top flight Middleweight Champions. Who would be considered the best? To include Jr. and Super Middleweight. Here's a short list(in no order). Joe Calzaghe Nigel Benn Tony Sibson Randy Turpin Chris Eubank Herol Graham Alan Minter
I'm afraid it's true. Micheal Watson should be on that list. He beat Benn and was unlucky to lose a decision against Eubank. He was destroying Eubank second time round before he endured that terrible injury. A very good underated fighter.
in my lifetime, nigel benn. correct about watson though, eubank name-checked him as his toughest opponent in an interview shown on the main forum yesterday.
Don,t know about that..he was around in the 80,s ....[ Buster Drayton and herol Graham beat him in his prime ] :smoke
yeah he had a fight with errol christie on the cobbles before their up and downer in the ring. jock mcavoy probably makes a top 10 list.
Benn? Of course. Fitz is more powerful with a better chin. I don't think there's a slugger that Fitz couldn't beat at the weight. Tiger would be interesting.
I dont know if he would have beaten Benn though I would want a ringside seat. What I do know is that he has a much better resume than Benn.
