    Curry was the most beautiful efficient fighter ever. The strain of making the weight reduced the length of his career at the top. At the end of his career he took too many punches, ones he would have avoided earlier.

    Terry Noriss also had a short career.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Norris had a ton of amateur fights. Forgot how many, but it was a lot.

    Did not realise that. Must have shortened his pro career.

    Did you guys know there were 3 Curry brothers? Don & Bruce were best known but there was also Graylin Curry. According to Don Graylin was best of the 3. He said Glaylin never lost a fight as an amateur but never took turning pro seriously.. Don wanted to play baseball & really only turned pro to earn enough money to put him through college. but he kept winning LOL

    Yes, and he took a lot of punishment in his pro career. Even that 3 round war with Troy Waters, and the Julian Jackson KO... YIKES.
