    If a past his prime Curry gave Norris some problems what do you think A Curry at the top of his game does?

    Give him even more problems - but does that translate to an outright win?

    I'd give Curry a 50/50 chance, which is slightly higher than I would give Ray Leonard. Not because Curry is a better fighter than Leonard, but it is because I believe he had slightly heavier hands than Leonard. Curry did not possess Leonard's speed, but his speed is still on par with Norris'. I just don't like the way Curry leaves his chin exposed against a puncher as quick as Norris.

    I'll take Norris, at this time, in a much more competitive bout than what happened when they actually met.

    On a side note: I rank Mike McCallum higher(at 154) than anyone else mentioned in this thread. Curry's performance against McCallum would make me pick Ray Leonard to defeat McCallum at this weight.

    I go for Curry

    Curry of 85 was the best pound for pound fighter

    Norris has a glass chin and Curry would smash him out cold I believe

    Curry at the top of his game was superb

    Of course Curry had weakness too.

    But I feel Curry is gonna land on Norris early
