Im sorry but Micheal Watson was not a top/ELITE tier fighter

He, never recovered from that beating v mccallum. And then made a classic blunder v eubanks. By going against his natural counter punching abilities!!

 

the man fights and wins at the highest level every day. unlike you pair of ****s, whose only battles are against stupidity, which you both lose miserably.

 

Was anyone condemming michaels health? He, made a tactical blunder by going against his natural instincts you *******!!

 

OP is a dumbass.

Watson beat Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank (robbed) and then had Eubank beaten all ends up in the second fight until he got complacent following a k/d.

 

the thread is classless, no surprise you jumped straight in.

 

I think the person was just stating that he gets overrated which is true.
People actually think he was in Heorl Grahams class and he wasn't close.
He was a very good pro who was world class but is vastly overrated-Eubank 1 was a close bout and Benn fight consisted of Benn wearing himself out and Watson being smart enough to take advantage of it.
When Watson stepped up against Mccallum he got dominated and stopped.

 

Watson was a tremendous fighter.

 

Excellent fighter. He wasn't robbed int he first Eubank fight in my opinon.

 

Typical boxrec warrior. You ever actually watched one of his fights?

 

lets put it this was he would number two in both middle and super today so I dont think that is too bad.

 

Watson had one of the smoothest styles and best tucked defenses I've ever seen. He landed more right hands on both McCallum (all-time lb4lb top-10) and Eubank than any fighters ever did, and more clean variety of punches on Benn in just the 2nd round of their fight alone than any fighter ever did!

He beat former world #1 Don Lee (arguably lb4lb hardest hitter) when he was 22 years old and a late substitute! Lee demolished Tony Sibson in better fashion than Marvin Hagler had, and I would say Lee was a better fighter and more dangerous puncher than Frank Liles. Tall, switch-hitting southpaw with long arms and highlight reel KO's. Watson completely dominated Don Lee.

 

The Watson who fought Eubank in their 2nd fight would beat Andre Ward or anyone else you got!
