    Honeyghan vs Curry deserves a mention.

    Curry, the p4p #1 at the time took a beating and retired in his corner after 6 rounds.

    The reason I went with these 3 is because I truly feel that there was no other fighters in the world that would have beat those guys other than the guys that did.

    Duran had to put in the absolute best & most flawless (alonside Dejesus III) performance of his life vs a very very good Ray Leonard.

    Hearns was thought to be `unbeatable`, no WWT could live with him, he was a monster, SRL had to dig deeper than even the 1st Duran fight & no other WWT could have pulled it out to stop Hearns like that.

    Hagler was Hagler, p4p no1, 1 of the best MWTs ever, unbeaten in 11 yrs, champion for 7 yrs, KOd 11 of his 12 opponents in title defences.... out steps SRL, 1 fight in 5/6 yrs, not fought in 3 yrs & looked **** when he did, the smaller man... no-one fancied Leonard but he won because nobody thought he could.
