I Have A New Neighbor!!
 

Yesterday i popped down to the shop and the end of our road for my mum, there was a huge truck outside a sold house that had been on the market for 5/6 months now. It was like £750,000, i live in the horrible estate across the road anyway back to the story. I was like yay new neighbors! So i went to the shop and on my way home the legend that is MICHAEL WATSON came out of the house with his 2 kids and his minder. I knew i had seen him before but i forgot his name! I knew he was famous tho!

I told my dad and he noticed him to on his way back from work! He went to say hello and he invited us to his WELCOME PARTY in 2 weeks :D.

OMG IT'S SO EXITING!

who's Michael Watson =\

LOL! I knew most people wouldn't know who he is, he is one of the biggest boxers in history!! lol

I think he is a boxer

Sorry, dunno who he is lmao :sad:

I think a couple of members will know who he is.. Like Dan, Mark and BigSister.

i recognise the name faintly.....

Chris eubank knocked him out... But the damage was caused by lack of oxygen after he went down, no help at all. Was it 91 or 93 the fight? I remember the HUGE posters everywhere because it was a rematch between the two. Another good fight i remember watching was in 86 i think between tyson & bruno :bigsmile:

I remember the guy being in a coma for ages... Pulled through tho.

Michael was a very good boxer back in the day from what I saw,he totally outclassed Nigel Benn and gave several other good fighters tough fights.It was a real shame that his career came to an end in such tragic circumstances.

yeah "LOL" yourself
no he's not "one of the biggest boxers in history"....... far from it.

25 seconds of googling says he had ONE title shot ever ...outcome ... 40 days in a coma....that's worth a "LOL"

He actually had three world title shots and many think he won against Eubank in their first fight which lead to a rematch.Why is being put in a coma and left brain damaged worth a "LOL"?

Nothing ... My laughter was directed at you and your "LOL!"s in your post ...it seemed you were saying we're all so stupid because we don't know who that guys is.... you said he is "one of the biggest boxers in history" no mate...losing 3 title shots doesn't make him that GREAT. Why would I laugh at a dude with brain damage?.....the lol was about how wrong you were

If you look back it was actually DoubleTrouble that you quoted saying about Michael Watson was "one of the biggest boxers in history".None of that was said by me.

oh dam... my bad sorry. Friendly fire! I presumed that you were guy that started the thread.

I don't know who the guy is, and DT saying "LOL" didn't offend me, nor make me think he thought I was stupid.

:shrug:

No worries :thumbs:
