    The fight was there to get made, but those two were not interested. It is what it is.

    Did you see how they clammed up when THE SMW CHAMP started calling them out? They wanted no part of that ass whipping. They ducked "Lights Out":deal

    Eubank never faced one top American fighter through out his career. It is what it is.

    Watson was on a different universe to Clinton Woods or Glen Johnson. He looked special at his best. Woods and Glencoffe were ordinary.

    Dont see why he shouldn't be worried about his or Toney's health, given that he had been involved in a fight that perminantly paralysed Michael Watson. In fact both Benn and Eubank had been in fights which had destroyed their opponents health, and that must be a terrible mental burden for anybody to bear.

    Johnson

    Best wins:

    Jones(ATG)
    Tarver
    Woods

    Johnson should of also got the win against Dawson

    Accomplishments:
    Voted fighter of 2004
    Former Ring Champion

    What did Watson do that would place him above Johnson?

    I don't think so. Glen was just as skilled as Watson. Even a crude brawler like Collins was a better fighter than Watson, which is why he did much better against common opponents.
