Craig Watson

Pity to see he's not fighting any more.

There's plenty of opportunities around the welter and light middle divisions where he could feature.

Anyone know what he's up to now ?

There are "plenty of opportunities" at practically every single weight division, however for one reason or another 90% of them never happen.

Although the decisions are probably made with the best intentions at the time, I would imagine that there are a lot of retired boxers who now wish that those fights had been made.

He was a decent and hard boxer, he beat Matthew Hatton pretty well. Boxing looks a hard way to make money if you're only boxing a couple of times a year - most people would be better off with a day job; Watson used to be in the building game so would be most probably knackered after a day of graft. I imagine the settee and the telly looks a better bet than a couple of hours in the gym.

He was indeed. He was the reason Khan went pro.

He beat a ruck of good fighters though. Ali Nuumbembe inside 9 the night Hatton fought Floyd!
