    Default Milton McCrory vs Colin Jones Underrated Fights.

    I watched the 1st fight quite awhile ago, and was looking for the rematch for sometime. I just watched it and i have to say these 2 fights were underrated gems. One of the most underrated pair of Welterweight fights.

    A classic boxer vs puncher, good action all the way ebb and flow. Milton McCrory showing the flashy skills and Colin Jones showing the true grit never taking a backward step.

    If you haven't seen these fights do yourself a favour and watch them.

    I liked Curry destroying Collins myself that was quality boxing.

    Colin Jones had fell out of love with boxing by then, not that it really would of mattered anyway. Because Donald Curry in his prime was simply awesome, remember that cut aswell ? simply nasty.

    Sliced and diced by Curry. Collins was a tough fighter, he beat Kirkland Lang twice as well.

    Those were GREAT fights. I thought Jones won the first one.

    It was fun watching a guy as athletically limited as Jones find ways to compete with the far more talented Iceman.

    I remember one of the announcers (no idea who) say something like "Colin Jones may just be too much man for McCrory."

    Milton McCrory looked alot like Tommy Hearns style wise, he had the flicker jab the footwork the speed the height. But he didn't have that thundering power like Tommy Heans.

    Yup. Of course to be fair to Mr. McCrory, how many men have ever had that?

    True Hearns had frightening power with either hand and he did not want to win on points with his jab. What about Hearns v Curry that would be a great match up.

    As good as the mid-late 80's welter crew of Curry, Starling, Honeyghan, McCrory, Blocker, Bumphus, Brown etc were.

    And they were terriffic!

    I really think Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns and Roberto Duran (in top shape) were on a different plane. I think Hearns takes Curry out,

    Tommy Hearns would be the favourite but i wouldn't be 100 percent confident, Donald Curry had terrific timing and very good power. If he landed flush on Tommy Hearns it could be lights out.

    Good point. If the very best Donald Curry hits you on the button? Very few men shake that off.

    Shame you couldn't pit the early 80's Welterweights vs the late 80's Welterweights together.

    Marlon Starling vs Wilfredo Benitez
    Donald Curry vs Sugar Ray Leonard
    Mark Breland vs Tommy Hearns
    Lloyd Honeyghan vs Pipino Cuevas

    Is there a reason you wish to see Mr. Breland killed?

    As a pro Mark always looked like he'd trained in a homeless shelter. He seemed so frail.

    The other three would have been fun fights wouldn't they?

    I only chose that because of there height, and because i've seen footage of them spar. I personally think Mark Breland was far too fragile and needed to bulk up a bit.
