    The Curry that destroyed McCrory vs the Forrest that beat Mosley. Who wins?

    tough one. i will say that stylistically, forrest (rip) did not resemble a swarming honeyghan or a patient, iron chinned technician like mccallum. curry held advantages in speed and power at that weight and i don't know if forrest could establish his jab as he did against mosley

    I'd go with Curry by late stoppage.

    :goodif mayorga can get to him, so can curry. i honestly think if curry had forsaken the defense against honeyghan and moved up and fought hagler, as planned later on, we'd have a whole different perspective of his legacy

    Curry by UD or late round stoppage over Forrest.
