Watsons misfortune in his three world title fights was that he fought cagey boxers. I always found Watson more effective when he played a counterpunching role.

Its a fight that goes the distance in my opinion but would have to edge towards Winkiy
Thats a very good appraisal.

I would sit on the fence and say it could have gone either way though. Its always difficult comparing fighters, and especially as Watson's career was cut so tragically short... we dont know how good he could have been
