    Imagine that Donald Curry never fought Lloyd? Went up the weight to LM never had the hammering he received that night the physical and mental damage never happened wasn't weight drained.What would become of the mega fights that were in the pipeline? Some very exciting matches went up in in smoke thanks to Lloyd.

    I believe Curry would have bypassed Mike McCallum, and would have signed fight Marvelous Marvin Hagler before Sugar Ray Leonard fought got his chance, on April 6 1987. Donald Curry vs Hagler was being talked about in late 1986, or early 1987, but Lloyd ruined the party. Donald was having trouble making the 147lb weight limit. No big money fighting the Body Snatcher.

    Curry v Hagler could have been an interesting fight for a while, maybe Don leading in the card s . But Hagler eventually gets forward and pounds his man to defeat
