He was relatively young at 26 so had he not been injured so tragically he still had time to come good. To me it seems he was a fighter who was destined to always fail at the very top against the best. A bit like Ryan Rhodes.
Best way to judge Michael Watson (or anybody) is to watch their fights and their skills, rather than look at what is on paper. Not saying this in a condecending way btw.
