Felix Trinidad vs. Donald Curry at WW

These guys remind me of one another in some ways, but Curry was more refined of a fighter and I think more talented.

Curry Late TKO

 

:admin

Curry was on another world technically to Tito. Oddly enough, I'm not sure that means he'd beat him.

 

Curry at his best would KTFO Tito early. If Curry is tentative and let's Tito get going, then Tito wins. It all depends on which version of Curry comes to tho fight. I'd go with Curry by early knockout.

 

Curry would land something, fast, sharp and hard on Tito.

Tito had heart, but I don't think he ever fought someone as dangerous as Peak Curry at 147. Curry by late knockout.

 

Don't go ape **** Pea, I didn't mean anything literal. What I meant to say is that they seem to have the same presence in the ring.

 

Carr, Joppy, Vargas, Reid and Camacho( who was slightly past his prime but still skilled and world class) were also on ''another world technically than Tito''. There's ways to offset those things. Curry was a disappointment and wasn't consistent enough to beat someone of the caliber of Trinidad IMO. I think Tito is underrated.

 

Curry > all those guys in a technical sense.

Joppy I dont think was better at all, he was just faster and that only took him so far..Tito was a fairly competent technician with decent stand up skills and a good kit of punches.

Camacho was fairly past it I reckon and most importantly a long way from his best weight.

I think at his very best Curry would school Tito...but when its all averaged out I think Tito probably beats him more times then Don would in a series. Donald's lack of durability and tendency not to give ground when he really should have been, would eventually spell trouble for him I reckon.

 

I think Trinidad would win, and there is no way he is getting "KTFO" early, by anybody at WW.

 

I think Tommy Hearns would stop him very, very early. Tito wasn't unhittable OR unhurtable.

 

I think with his occasional tendency to get knocked down early could see him most definitely see get stopped early by guys like Cueves and Hearns...maybe even Jones.

But...its more likely that doesnt happen.

 

A peak Curry would outclass him. Trinidad, whislt a good fighter always struck me as overrated.

 

Hearns is one, but still Trinidad is vastly underrated nowadays.

He was more solid than the number of KD's he had against him suggests. He was only also ever stopped after getting dominated at MW, and that wasn't because he was KTFO.

A TKO after a flurry could happen, but nobody is laying Trinidad out imo.

 

Jones?

 

Tito would've beat Colin Jones to death.

Having said that... Curry at his best takes Tito apart and stops him. Tito would have a legit puncher's chance though.
