    Whats everyone think of this fight? I see it as one of the Cobra's best performances. I remember Curry saying in the post-fight interview that he felt sluggish in this fight. I think he was being too hard on himnself. He was sharp as a razor.

    Thoughts on this performance?

    I taped it off TV back around 1984......... Diaz was totally out-classed....... Christ, I have not seen the fight since Reagan was in office..... I really no longer care about it, either.............. Diaz never came back to do anything big.......

    My favorite fight with Curry was his stoppage of over-hyped Nino LaRocca... I was sold and fooled by LaRocca's hype.......

    I thought his peak showing was against Colin Jones, outwith the McCrory blitz.
