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.
    That was his 8th pro fight, Gerald McClellan also lost twice early in his career. As did many other fighters and they still went on too win world titles.

    No shame in losing to Mike McCallum who was a great fighter and a HOF, Michael Watson did beat Nigel Benn and deserved to beat Chris Eubank in there 1st meeting. And was a mile ahead on points in the rematch until Chris Eubank found a hail mary.

    Michael Watson would of for 100 percent won a world title, he had the determination and the skills.

    Brodie was unlucky too.
