If the Watson tragedy didn't occur...

[BIG H]

I agree that Watson was the most talented (Benn & Eubank also agree with this). I don't really know how good Eubank was or could've been because his opponents were clearly hand picked. Barry Hearn was on Ringside a few weeks and said Eubank had a 'Shopping List' for potential opponents, i.e a whole bunch of criteria that opponents could not have OR HE WOULD NOT FIGHT THEM.

Such a good character Watson and for him to still be alive is amazing. And for him years later to complete the London Marathon is an achievement.

James Toney or McCallum would have beaten Benn or Eubank all day imo, not to mention Roy Jones. The UK in no way ran the division.

Benn, Eubanks and Watson fought great fights and gave the nation some truly memorable bouts but in the context of world class boxing there were better fighters.

Also Herol Graham would have beaten all 3 of them.

McCallum smashed Watson to bits and would have done the same to Benn and Eubanks. Never mind what Roy and Toney would have done to them at the time.

I recently watched the first Eubank-Watson fight again and thought Eubank won. I can't even remember why it was called a "robbery" but I used to think that too?

I wasn't much of a Eubank fan when he was in his pomp. I remember him in more bores than exciting fights. However, when I look at his fights now I actually really like his style. I definitely didn't appreciate how good he was back then. I'd love him if he was around today.

I agree I'd love to see Eubank and Benn in this era now. Imagine Froch-Benn how brutal of a fight that would be. Prime for prime!!

[Fenster]

Benn and Toney have quite a few common opponents from that era. Benn was just as impressive, arguably more so, in dispatching them.

If Benn-McClellan had never happend, anyone today saying they think Benn would have beaten him would be getting told they're a "troll" or "they don't know boxing" etc

Whoever would have won between that lot - Roy, Benn, Eubank, Toney, etc - they would have been significant fights in boxing history, and boosted the record of the winner big time, that's for sure. Shame.

Benn had the balls to take on the yanks and would be fearless against Jones and Toney no doubt about that. Eubanks had no inclination to fight them, especially after the Watson fight. Chris was beatable as Watson proved.
