    The heavyweight division in the early 70`s was far better.

    Watson fought like Eubank Jr in his rematch with Sr, Eubank fought the same way in the second half of his bout v Saunders.

    Benn gassed against Watson, Simms and Galvano, he looked unimpressive v Simms who wa not a top 10 contender when Benn fought him and Galvano nearly stopped Benn at the end of their rematch, Benn was exausted.

    What could Wtson do that Groves couldn`t? Groves out-boxed Froch until getting caught could Watson have done that?

    Watson`s lack of reach bothered him v Eubank Sr I feel Groves jab had more reach on it.

    Perfect match imo. I loved Roy putting a fire under his fighters ass last month. I'd like to see Roy train that Armenian fighter

    Contradicting myself here but its more for education purposes.

    You'd think that but Steward always maintained Hearns was at his absolute best ever against James Schuler and close to unbeatable.

    "The Nigel Benn who beat Doug DeWitt would've beaten any middleweight in the world. And I mean any middleweight, then, now or any time."
    -Emanuel Steward

    "I never had a more talented fighter than Gerald McClellan. Gerald would've beaten Roy again, I really believe that."

    'Far'?

    Look at the depth - Benn, Watson, Jones Jr, McClellan, Toney, Littles, Liles, Hopkins, Rod Douglas, Eubank Sr, Thomas Tate, Reggie Johnson, Lamar Parks, Steve Collins, Close, Woodhall, Wharton etc.

    On top you already had Nunn, Frank Tate, Lindell Holmes, Julian Jackson, Barkley, Hearns, Duran, Kalambay, McCallum, Leonard, Graciano Rocchigiani, Doug DeWitt etc.

    Nothing 'far' better than a hotbed like that son.

    Hearns and Duran were nowhere near their peaks from 89-92, Douglas wa exposed by Graham, Woodhal was pretty ordinary as was Wharton and B-hop hadn`t reached his peak, his fight with Jones was boring.

    Hagler would have beaten Benn more convincingly than Eubank did, he struggle with Sanderline Williams.

    Hearns v Benitez was one of the greatest chess matches of all-time, Schuler ws nowhere near Wilfredo`s level in terms of being able to slip shots and counter, Steward also said Oba Carr was the most talented Kronk fighter ever.
