Ward is not more skilled than Watson imo. Slicker yes, but Watson puts togeher much nicer punches and counters just as well.I'm only talking about post-McCallum Watson here though and there isn't much to go on there to be fair.
Gimme Ward. Teek tough, mad slick, super skilled, and has the full arsenal of weapons and tactics at his disposal. Eubank is more than worthy, and would give him trouble, but Ward would find a way to beat him. He had more tools.
Eubank throws about a six- or seven- punch combination in about the first 30 seconds of that second Watson fight. We only ever saw him do that again against Tony Thornton but with nowhere near the same velocity.
