Were would you rank Michael Watson in the British Middleweights.

I never rated Wtson until i saw him fight Benn, Benn had all the exposure in the UK were watson had nothing until the epic fight. after that fight witrh Benn Watson was highly regarded, and im sure if Watson had not suffered terrible injuries he would have become a world champion.

i think a better question would be what british fighter would of beat him out of the top boys

Out of Benn, Eubank and Watson, Watson was technically more accomplished. He beat Benn and was robbed in the first Eubank fight. From what hed already achieved he was in the top 10 British MWs of all time, he might have gone on to be top 3 had he not been tragically injured

Leaving aside the pre-war middles i'd say

Herol Graham
Randolph Turpin
Tony Sibson
Alan Minter
Michael Watson
Nigel Benn
Chris Eubank
