    Someone said under another thread that Watson could have beaten G-man because he beat Benn, but I disagree so I wanted to do a thread titled Watson v G-man but I think it has been done before, so I started this thread instead, how would Watson have fared v Benn at 168 and Jackson at 160 when he lost to G-man?

    I think Watson would have gone undefeated against all of McClellan's Title opposition.

    Jackson knocks him out.

    Benn at 168 its a pick em.

    Difficult to assess as we never saw how good watson couldve been. Its conceivable he would have improved as much as Benn did...hes a rare fighter...someone who took a prolonged one sided outclassing and beating vs mccallum and came back better and stronger than ever

    Watson beats them all. Cleanly.
