    I think Curry and Honeyghan are perfect examples of primes being cut short due to outside the ring lifestyles.

    Honeyghan was terrific that night in Las Vegas and Curry simply didn't have answers. Lloyd fought like a man possessed.

    Many at the time were claiming that it was Curry who was the No.1 P4P rather than Marvin Hagler or the heir apparent so there was no way he was seen as passed his prime.

    One quote I saw a few years back was that Curry and Honeyghan met in a hotel lobby and Lloyd approached him to say hello and Curry just blasted "You ended my fucking career" and stormed off.

    As for Curry pre Honeyghan then it can't be denied that the man was a fantasticaly skilled Ring General - sharp and accurate. A joy to watch his fights and he often gets overlooked. He would have beaten Floyd Mayweather no doubt.

    Prime Honeyghan is up there as one of my favourie all time fighters. I've said it loads of times before, but he was shot to be pieces after the 1st Vaca fight and was never the same again - don't know why

    The Honeyghan that Beat Curry, Bumphus and Blocker would've beaten Starlon and Breland imo

    Honeyghan did injure his hand against Hatcher and that seem to trouble him later on.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I watched the Maurice Blocker fight awhile ago, Maurice Blocker gave Lloyd Honeyghan quite alot of trouble in the later rounds. And the Johnny Bumphus fight at the start of round 2 was bizarre.
