    Fantastic documentary, cheers :good

    Michael Watson potentially could have been the best post war Brit of the lot, real shame he never got that world title.

    I regard him as having been a world champion, he had the ability & beat both Benn & Eubank (twice) tho officially only beat Benn & both Benn & Eubank were great world champions.

    I wonder how he`s doing right now ?

    Yes he seemed the better boxer out of the lot, I liked his style, quite green when he fought McCallum too.
