    Haha in all seriousness though, I'm no expert. I honestly think you both far surpass me in knowledge. I'm admittedly mainly a heavyweight guy. Been that way since I started getting into boxing. You'll rarely see me outside of it.

    Cheers!

    I don`t entirely agree with your comment but Parker is better than Tyson was in the 90`s and would have toyed with Morrison.

    I don't think I have too many unusual boxing opinions. But there is one worth mentioning. I have always believed that Donald Curry, at his peak, was in the class of Leonard, Hearns, Benitez, Duran. Unfortunately his peak didn't last long, but he was magnificent against LaRocca, Jones, McCrory, Starling (second fight), Diaz.

    No way, Curry struggled withStarling twice and got caugt a lot by Jones, Hearns and Duran were smarter, Curry wouldn`t be able to deal with Hearns jab and Benitez wa far harder to hit than Curry, Don was never in at that level, McCallum exposed him at 154 even though his prime weight was 147.
