    Has Thurman's defeat to Pacquiao changed how you see the outcome. I think Thurman by late stoppage. From what I saw from McCrory he was average.

    I don't think Thurman is that great either. I think the era of Thurman, Garcia and Porter is overrated a bit. I think it would be an even fight. Maybe Thurman might get to Milt's chin but it won't be a 2nd round knockout like Curry got.

    McCrory was considerably better than Thurman, and would outclass him to a UD.

    McCrory uses his huge height and reach advantage successfully to win by decision.

    Milton by UD. Curry was lucky that they didn't fight sooner.

    MM never really impressed me at all. Thurman did, he would whip him bad

    Not sure I follow. What about their career trajectories would suggest McCrory could ever have taken Curry?

    At the time of 1982/1983, I felt McCrory was slightly better than Curry, who was good, but not the fighter he was a couple of years later. Milton didn't really improve after the Colin Jones fight, where Donald did by leaps and bounds.
