Michael Watson MBE

[Beeky38]

Did anyone else see this weekend Sky's documentary of former boxer Michael Watson. This was one of the most moving pieces of television I have ever seen. It is simply incredible the things this man has and continues to achieve. He is a wonderful role model and an inspirational character.

Caught it earlier. Top class from Sky but what a legend Michael Watson is. Truly inspirational. After all he has been though to go out to help others, puts most of us to shame I reckon.

Did not see the documentary but the rivalry of Watson, Benn and Eubank was simply superb and a golden era for British boxing ...! some cracking fights just a complete tradegy in how it ended ... !

Quite right Indian Bee, in the words of Nigel Benn, they had some right old tear ups. But it "ended" with Watson and Eubank meeting about 10 years ago where Watson told his one time rival he wasn't to blame. Eubank, in separate interviews showed himself a man of humilty and honesty, not the buffoon of his public persona. Both men showed they had class, as did everyone else who featured on the show.

I've met Eubank a few times. Strange chap.

Sure I was in a club one night, early 90's when Benn started DJ'ing. God only knows if he was any good mind. The tap water was class in there lol

Benn was off his head in the Boulevard once, I had to put him in the VIP he was so bad.. next day he played at for a celebrity team at wembley before a freight rover final... had he been blood tested he would have been ****ed...
