If the Watson tragedy didn't occur...

[smashup]

We will never know the winners and losers if things were different and the Benns , Jones, Eubanks and Toneys did fight back in the day but they would have been absolute wars thats for sure.

Watson is a total hero of mine and I've watched watched those youtube docs on his career and amazing recovery.

I've even made a mate watch a few when he was suicidle thru drink and drug abuse ...woman left him etc.

Basically he was inspired by watching Watson's fight back to get on his feet and it is an amazing story.

Wasnt it Ali who came to see him in intensive care then he amazingly started showing signs of recovery and actually spoke?

In the "Gloved battles of the bedroom" with my older bruv and his mates I always chose to be Watson.

Got the absolute fuck smashed out of me in the process as I was 3 years younger at only 12-13 and 2 of his mates and himself boxed..... I used to put it right on all of them until they connected hahaha

Watson said Ali was his motivation to beat benn by using the rope a dope tactics and tiring Nigel out.
