I would like to know how good is former Philadelphian middleweight contender Bobby "Boogaloo" Watts? Also does he stands at 6 foot 2 inches tall?

Bobby Watts was a solid pro, he is about 6'2 . He trained me at Joe Fraziers gym in the early 80's until he came out of retirement. He is a good dude.

Thanks ShoeShine and I want to ask you what happens if he ever fought a great Philadelphian middleweight fighter "Bad" Bennie Briscoe at his prime and past his prime?

I would favoure 'Bad' Bennie Briscoe to stop Watts late on.

I think I am right in saying that Bobby Watts was related to the late Jimmy Young? Cousins I think? And that Bobby was/is involved in training Jimmys son.

I also would take Briscoe over Watts probably a late round stoppage, it would be a war though. Philly fighters fight each other hard especially back in the 70's and 80's...there were a lot of philly fi9ghters that got burned out just in sparring sessions with other philly fighters. Yes Watts and the late Jimmy Young were related, Watts also trained Charles Brewer.
