Prime Donald Curry Was Awesome.

[Violent Demise]

I hadn't seen that many Donald Curry fights, only about 5. But recently i've been watching a prime Donald Curry and boy was he awesome. In the fights i watched he looked like an ATG. The way he would just stand straight up. Making opponents believe he was easy to hit, then he would move his upperbody so fast and sharp shoot with excellent counter shots.

Sorry but i personally believe if Donald Curry was in his prime he would of beat Lloyd Honeyghan. Its just amazing how far from grace Donald Curry fell and how quickly it happened aswell. I blame it on too many Amateur fights, which made him go stale in the pro ranks whats your opinions ?

Curry himself deserves some of the blame. It was said he would really ballon up in between fights. And would have to struggle to make weight. Mills Lane even talked about it in his book

Yea i heard about that i also heard he had poor management, and also his extra long Amateur career didn't help either.

I don't anyone would have beaten the "Raggamuffin Man" that night

Even just about remember watching that with my brother who was going nuts at the tv.

Seems so long ago and i wasn't aware of Curry coming out with any excuses after Lloyd smashed him.

Infact i though Curry was a HUGE favourite and on a mad winning streak

You could say Mike Tyson didn't give any excuses either, when he lost to Buster Douglas all he said was it was my fault and ETC. It still doesn't mean he wasn't a shell of what he normally was.

Just like Donald Curry was and if you see his fights before the Lloyd Honeyghan one, its not hard to tell that he performed poorly in the Lloyd Honeyghan fight.

And even though it was a fine performance from Lloyd Honeyghan, he hardly looked unbeatable. And im not sure when Lloyd Honeyghan started to become stale himself.

But i heard he had bad hands and his partylife style aswell as his brawling style, caught up with him instead of being the boxer like he was against Donald Curry. He become too much of a brawler.

And he did get beaten embarrasingly by a fighter who Donald Curry, was able to outhustle twice aka Marlon Starling. It reminded me of Winky Wright vs Felix Trinidad although not quite as bad as that.

Prime for prime Donald Curry vs Lloyd Honeyghan would of been an awesome fight. But i think Donald Curry would have pulled it out over 12 rounds.
