    Curry lost in his 20's, so he stands no chance here.

    Whitaker wasn`t as aggressive as Honeyghan and wouldn`t have hurt Curry the way Lloyd did in that bout.

    I think Curry would win this. He was just better at 147. He was prime and fantastic. And he was dangerous. It would give Pea little room to work with. Pea was a magician, no doubt, but not against a prime, natural welter who was lighting them up like Curry. Too narrow a window for victory.

    No, I think their skills and speed levels were similar, Whitaker threw a lot more jabs though.

    That's why I give Curry a chance here, I don't see Sweetpea nailing him as much as I see Don cracking him.

    Glad to see it met your standard, Mark. I don't think I'd want to witness your wrath if it didn't.

    he just blamed me for starting world war 3 with Russia and China over an innocuous comment in another thread. He plays hard man.
