Is Donald Curry underated?

Guys get hit, and sometimes the best even go down. In this case, it means nothing about anything. Joe Louis went down too....more than once. Was that any kind of red flag?

I see what you're saying, but I couldn't see Hwang flooring a Starling, McCrory, or Young, if he caught them with the same punch.As far as Louis goes, if he faces the right type of fighter, a Frazier, Foreman, Tyson, or even a Shavers, it becomes a major problem.

You hit the nail on the head. For a while Curry was quite brilliant. He demolished two world class fighters in Colin Jones and Milton McCrory with ease.

I just recently watched the McCrory fight...brilliant!!!!!!!!!!
