Apparently Bill Gates has one too, but they're not allowed to be 'Sir'. Its a honorary/Mickey Mouse equivalent

For what it's worth, when Watson was born his parents lived in Stoke Newington. So he is as eligible for a knighthood as anyone.

(I know he never competed in the Olympics but I believe he ticks all the boxes re the 'Olympic ideal').
hope he gets it for some of the way. :TU:

he won't get to light the flame though.

disagreed with his comment on the mccallum fight.

"he struggled to beat me on a bad night"

that's absolute nonsense.

but even so an inspirational story.

I met Michael in the summer for a piece I did for BM. Incredible person with fighting spirit still very much in tact. A highly intelligent man and bears no resentment. He would do it all again.
