Prime Donald Curry Was Awesome.

[BIG H]

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 ?

Wasn't he prine when he fought Honeyghan? Wasn't he on a run of KO Defences and had just KOed Milton McCrory in 2 rounds?

He was many people's P4P number 1 even ahead of Hagler

No he wasn't he had weight problems and took Lloyd Honeyghan too lightly, it was no different to Mike Tyson vs Buster Douglas. Yet you yourself will say that wasn't Mike Tyson in his prime so whats the difference ?

There is no difference except Mike Tyson had a very short Amateur career, where as Donald Curry had 404 Amateur fights. Which was the reason IMO he went stale quickly in the pros.

If you've seen Donald Curry land one of the best left hooks against Milton McCrory, or destroy fighters like Nino La Rocca or outhustle Marlon Starling in there 2nd fight. Its easy to tell Donald Curry was a shell of himself against Lloyd Honeyghan.

That punch on McCrory was chilling, nearly as good as the one McCallum knocked Curry out with - but wasn't the McCrory KO just a few months before the Honeyghan fight? Why did he suddenly become shot between those 2 rounds and fighting Honeyghan?
