    Neither is great, but Floyd's not a great welterweight either.

    I have my own two eyes. I've watched plenty of Curry and Honeyghan fights. Neither are close to Floyd.

    Hey pal, PBF couldn`t have carried Leonard and Hearns spit bucket... Be thankful that they are only using Curry as a potential matchup. By the way Einstein, Catsillo walked right through PBF`s booming powershots in the first fight... And you think he just plasy with Honeyghan ??? Plodding medium hitting Cotto, hits and bloodies PBF during thier fight. So sharper and harder hitting Curry won`t give PBF problems ?? Yep, you truly know your boxing... BTW, Hearns/Mayweather 3 rd KO for Hearns ! You really think that cute shoulder role and one punch pot-shotting will hold off the `Hitman` ??? You MUST agrre that PBF would NEVER sign to fight someone so dangeraous who could leave him on the canvas a quivering wreck...

    Hearns was a lot better than Donald Curry. Don't put Curry up with him too now :patsch

    Jeez is Curry overrated on this board :nut

    Vernon Forrest would have beaten Floyd @ 147 , Mayweather was no Mayorga and not as durable as Mosley . Mayweather wasn't even as hard a hitter as Mosley so Forrest could afford 2b more aggressive against him .
    Floyd wouldn't have fought Mayorga nor Forrest during their prime even if he was a fully fledged 147/154 like he is 2day .
    It doesn't take "D Hitman" 2 beat/stop welterweight/lightmiddleweight Floyd Mayweather . 4 those who consider 135lbs Floyd a more formidable force in his division , how about Jose Luis Ramirez ? what happens if Floyd becomes more aggressive than Pernell Whitaker ? i bet ppl here will pick him 2 beat Ramirez 2d punch then . Rosario deserved 2 lose their 1st fight and did indeed beat Ramirez 2d punch badly in their 2nd until Ramirez caught and finished him . Ramirez beat or embarassed every type of fighter , Floyd is somewhere in d middle of d scale , how does he fare ?

    So tell me PBF fan how would power-puching defensive genius PBF deal with Hearns ? For the record, Hearns would have iced Curry too ! Damn, Mosley rocked PBF, kinda scary to think what Hearns would do :) I love how everyone ducks for cover when mentioning Hearns for PBF ! And for the record, NO ONE cherry picks at 147 than PBF !

    I never said he would. He would however, waste Donald Curry.

    Why is Floyd talked about like he's some feather fisted chump? You can always tell the people who throw reason out the window when it comes to Floyd.

    At welterweight+:
    Sharmba Mitchell- KO win
    Ricky Hatton- KO win
    Zab Judah- Decision, had him hurt late, hence that huge lowblow Judah landed
    Baldomir- Decision, never had him hurt, iron-chinned
    Mosley- Decision, had him hurt a couple times, iron-chinned
    Ortiz- KO win
    Cotto- Decision, had him hurt in the 12th round

    is that really a resume of a featherfisted guy?

    I think Mayweather is vastly overrated... If Cotto can consistently land on Floyd, Curry could do better with his better handspeed, accuracy, and power.

    Curry beats Floyd one way or another.

    He stops his opponents, but he isn't a puncher. There's a difference.

    It's also telling that this is a list of his opponents at welter...

    So Donald Curry could beat the 2007 Floyd Mayweather? Or are we talking about the 35 year old Floyd Mayweather. If you want we could compare Floyd at 35 vs Donald at 35. It wouldn't be pretty. Rene Jacquot anyone? :lol:
