Watson.
Watson was a little bit better than Eubank, Benn and Collins. He gave a much better account vs McCallum than Collins did. He arguably beat Eubank and was well on his way to beating him up and stopping him before Eubank managed to land a wild uppercut. Watson more or less had that fight won at that point and got careless. Eubank called upon two decades of working himself like a dog in the gym to somehow find that shot and save himself. Unfortunatley for Watson he was up against the best chin in British Boxing history that night in my book. Benn had nothing for Watson.

It’s an interesting one. I would go with Watson too. It would have been more of a challenge for him than the first one though. Benn vs Watson is one of my all-time favourites.
