Lots of atg's have been beaten by lesser opponents and club fighters and some knocked out by them like Armstrong, Arguello and Benny Leonard to name a few . Watson is another fighter that on any given night in his prime could have beaten anyone and Chris never lost on the official ledger although I think Michael won the first. We all know what happened in the second. No shame on losing to Collins on points either and I think Chris's ego got the best of him at the time. I think he could have beaten Collins but he didn't.

Britain was stacked at 160-168 in those days and akin to the Fab 5 days in the 80's on this continent. Five because I include Benitez with Leonard, Duran, Hearns and Hagler. 168 is a young division but Chris makes my top 5 list. The only guy I see him having problems with today is Ward.
