    Duran was around 36 at this stage that would be a factor also.

    Curry moving up prior to being defeated - i'll take him. He had extreme snap and speed and his handspeed and sharpness would be too much for this version of Roberto. Roberto would be a step behind too much of the time and lose a decision.

    When Donald let his original management team go....prior to the Honeyghan fight, his potential great career came crashing down. (At the press conference before the fight Curry had dismissed his little known and lightly taken British opponent, asking "Who is this ragamuffin?". Honeyghan thereafter adopted the title "Raggamuffin" or "Raggamuffin Man" with relish. Embracing his Jamaican heritage where a Raggamuffin is someone who follows 'Ragga' a kind of reggae dancehall rap music.)

    On please .Curry would have cruised to an easy decision at that time if Curry was at his best. Hell a shot Curry was picking MCcallum apart.
    He beat Aquino,Santos , and Rosi at Jr middle. Not great but not horrible.
    Duran beat Moore and who else at jr.middle?
