Does Donald Curry Have Best Amateur Record ??

[ICB]

Does anyone keep accurate records for amateur fights? I mean is 400-4 accurate?

Donald Curry (born September 7, 1961) is a retired Fort Worth fighter, called the 'Lone Star Cobra'.

Curry, who had an amateur record of 400-4, made the 1980 United States Olympic team, but could not compete due to the U.S. boycott. He then started his pro career and rose to superstardom rather quickly, putting together an undefeated streak that culminated in a 15-round points win over Jun-Suk Hwang of South Korea in 1983, giving Curry the then-vacant WBA welterweight title. He then defended this belt mostly by KO or TKO, against the likes of Nino LaRocca, Elio Diaz, Roger Stafford (whom he beat within a round), and Colin Jones. Also included in this stretch was a 1984 points win over the future world champion Marlon Starling to claim the division's new IBF title, while retaining the WBA title.

What they fail to tell you here is that Don Curry had the flu just prior to fighting Honeyghan. He couldnt train was weak and overweight. His so called manager at the time Akhbar Muhammad insisted a severely weakened Don still fight. It wasnt so much Honeyghan but the flu beat Don

I always been a Donald Curry fan. And always felt he shouldn't of been fighting that night. Honeyghan was at the right place at the right time. Any decent Welterweight would of beaten Curry that night.
