Re: Michael Watson what if?
Beating Benn and maybe beating Eubank is one thing , Mike McCallum exposed him , Toney -Nunn- Jones - McClellen all beat him comfortably.
Mike Watson was a good guy who i was prying would beat Eubank that fateful night. Because to be honest he won the first fight hands down for me.
Re: Michael Watson what if?
Watson didn't do anything in the first Eubank fight. I had Eubank winning by landslide, until he fell to pieces due to being weight-drained Eubank was beating him more impressively than McCallum did
But at White Hart Lane, it was like a completely different fighter!

No they wouldn't of and Watson had Eubanks number he should of won first meeting but got robbed and was miles ahead on scorecards in rematch but Eubank pulled a massive uppercut out of nowhere i think Watson would have rematched Benn and would of beat Benn in rematch but Watson would of fell short to guys like Jones Toney ect.

You have to be WWATT Eubanks biggest fan because theres no way on this earth Eubank won first Watson fight by landslide considering most people think Watson was robbed and what did Eubank do in first Watson fight ?? hardly anything himself it was close after 6 rounds but Watson took over in later rounds and should of won.
Re: Michael Watson what if?
Some great fights those were, Watson was IMO robbed in the 1st fight.
By the second fight, I think Watson gave it his all and realized Eubank was just in another dimension.....
Would have loved to see Watson vs. Collins in or around 1989 or 1990.

If the ref had given watson an 8 count he would have recovered and won.
How do you work that one out? he had brain damage, do you even know what you are talking about?
No he got confused but i understand what he is trying say what he means if ref would of give Eubank an 8 count like he should of really the round would of been over and that punch wouldn't of landed in the 11th.
Thats what i think he is trying to say anyway.

That was due to Mike McCallum's comments, Jim Watt's comments, and hatred of Eubank. It's plain to see that Eubank was winning 6-0 at one point, until almost collapsing (and not through Watson's punches - because he wasn't landing any).
And I'm not a Eubank fan at all, I don't like the guy - never have. I just tell the truth as I see it.

Well i have to say this then you either don't know how to score a fight or you massive fan since you have come here you have said samethings wwatt says like about Watt comments which i said last time i don't take no notice of that and 6-0 at the start ?? you have got to be kidding me and your other comment makes me question your judging aswell Eubank winning by a landslide is a joke.

I know I've told this on here before but back when Benn and Watson were due to fight in the big tent in Finsbury I was at work talking to someone about the fight and another colleague (a right dick) overheard us and said "Oooh, I LOVE boxing! Who's fighting?"
This in itself was fucking stupid as the fight was EVERYWHERE in the UK. You couldn't get away from it. Anyway, I answered "Benn Watson"
"Ah he's great. Who against" came the hapless cunts reply.....
