    According to records Curry did have over 400 fights and it’s not impossible. You can fight twice every 7 days in the amateurs and there are plenty of 11 and 12 year olds with over 100 fights already. The only reason Curry did not go for gold was the boycott. Maxell Taylor had about 300 fights before turning pro at 19. Rigondeaux also was close to 400 fights.

    Difference is guillermo turned pro 3 years ago at 28. Curry turned pro at 19. I don't think curry had over 400 fights.

    The math could work and that record is listed everywhere so unless every site and magazine that publishes it are full of shite or he has in fact had 400 or more fights. Its certainly humanly possible.
    I mean Greb fought 45 times in one year.
