    Definitely interested in footage of the Lonestar Cobra. He would have beaten Oscar If he had his head on straight. He was such a fantastic, sublime fighter in his prime too bad his problems outside the ring melted his wings like Icarus and derailed his career.

    Absolutely loved Curry in his prime. What a fighter! Poise, balance, speed and power. Sadly his prime was all too brief and problems outside the ring sent his career into a downward spiral. The Curry who KO'd McRory and Jones though would have given DLH or any other WW you care to mention hell!!!

    Curry would pick Oscar apart, this would be like the Quartey fight to the Nth degree. Very clear UD unless Uncle Bob pays off the judges ofcourse

    Hard to say. I think Oscar was too quick for Donald and his jab would pick Donald apart and stop him in about 9 rounds

    Very little if no Welterweight 'easily' beats Oscar De La Hoya.

    Curry by decision.

    His combination of speed and power would upset DelaHoya`s confidence. I see the Cobra hurting Oscar early in the fight and then DelaHoya being very cautious and trying to "box". Throwing jabs that come up a foot short while Jim Lampley tells us he`s winning.

    Curry 8-4 type of decision. Maybe with a knockdown.

    Oscar is under-rated these days.

    He could both bang and box.

    Feel free to make a case for yourself Sir.

    Curry had the superior jab.
