Donald Curry Vs Oscar De La Hoya @ 147

Damn, this Sweet Pea was an embarassingly bad poster from what I can tell in this thread. How the hell people compare us is beyond me.

 

I like Curry here, and likewise at 154.

Oscar was at his absolute best below welterweight (where you could argue that four men beat him).

A true "peak version" h2h match-up isn't possible here, as there's no such thing as a lightweight Cobra.

 

Would you pick Curry who beat McCrory to beat prime Robsinson at Welter?

 

I don't think that's an accurate assessment of Sweet Pea at all.

 

He sure wasn't the same guy that starched McCrory, that's for sure...I've never seen a fighter go downhill so fast..he was once magnificent, I know that.

 

I don't know you but based on your post, I REALLY don't like you.



SweatPea is a VERY knowledgeable poster who could hold his own with any and all.

 

Check out his posts in this thread. Curry a poor man's Julian Jackson? Naught but a puncher? It sounds like he'd watched a few minutes of Curry KO highlights and came to that conclusion based purely on his animosity towards other posters overrating of him.

 

Everybody has their low points. :conf

 

SRL ko3 McCrory.

 

Well, yeah.

 

Maybe. But it's more of an inside joke I have with La Cobra Roja:thumbsup

 

I think he was just trolling.

I remember him speaking very highly of the Lone Star Cobra.

 

I see. :good

I actually misread it as SRR, also. Leonard might get it done as well, though.

 

How good was Curry ? Well at his peak people talked about him moving up to middleweight and dethroning Hagler................. and no one laughed. That obviously never came to be. But that does not alter the fact that at his best he could box like a dream and punch like a night mare. He would outbox De La Hoya and hit him so hard, so fast and so often he would be on ***** street long enough to pick up a ***.

Poor mans Julian Jackson, unbelievable.

 

I don't know. McCrory was not a great fighter. I thought Curry was great that night also, but in retrospect McCrory was overpowered and shocked in the second round and had no answer for Curry and was confused , that is when Curry landed that left. And another thing, McCrory was tall like Hearns, but his reach was 73 inches. Less than Leonards reach, and Hearns had 78. It was not like Curry fighting Hearns. I think Delahoya had a little more heart than Curry and he would have made it a war yet worked behind his jab and cut and swelled up Curry, and Donald did not do well with a weakness like that. He would lose his gameplan-Curry loses a decision.
