One of the leading Top Heavyweights of the '30's/'40's/'50's was the very Popular
Canadian Star-WHIPPER WATSON!
He plied his Trade in NORTH AMERICA and was a Frequent Visitor to our Shores
too! A very strong and rugged Fighter-He was more than a handful for most Opponents
and was indeed a 'Pioneer' at Launching Moves from the Top Turnbuckles and Ropes!!
In the very late '40's BILLY held a version of the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE and he
was quite 'Pally' with JACK DEMPSEY-the former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion!!
His Hollywood Film Star Looks made him very Popular with the Ladies-so his Bouts were
usually Big Draws!
