Lloyd Honeyghan v Don Curry rematch ?

Don't think Honeyghan was scared but he gets overrated alot.He caught Curry when Curry looked horrible-I give Honeyghan credit for taking advantage of the momement but Curry at his best is way too much for Honeyghan-look what Starling did to Honeyghan and Curry wreaked Starling in the rematch.

 

Honeyghan would have a tough time in the early going with Donald in a rematch but come on again and stop him late or win a decision.

 

I don't think the Honeyghan fight ruined Curry. When he moved up in weight, he was an effective fighter again until the McCalluum KO. He was beating McCullum up until the KO. Curry would have beaten the shut out of Honeyghan if they fought again. He was just a better fighter. Lloyd didn't even have enough power to ko Donald when Curry wasn't even ready to fight. Lloyd is very overrated because he stopped a weight drained unprepared Curry. I don't see any indication of him having Curry's number. It was just a case of one fighter reaching his point where draining to make weight wouldn't work anymore.









Have a baby by me.

 

Curry got bad advice and stayed at welter too long.After Honeyghan what were any good performances by Curry?NONE.

 

Curry would have been a ATG if he hadnt stayed at welterwieght so long,his body just outgrew it,he was nearly killing himself to make that weight even when he toasted McCroy,the real Curry would have blasted Honeyghan,is a very overrated fighter,Breland punished him brutally,Breland wasnt even as good as McCroy who was weight drained when he got hammered by Curry and McCollum.

 

To be honest, the only way they would've fought was at 154.Curry could win, but his psyche was probably damaged from the initial encouter, so Lloyd could have a strong shot in the rematch.

 

Honeyghan destroys him in a rematch. Even faster imo.

 

Something missing is a good description of Curry in that fight. Gil Clancy had a saying that sometimes a guy gets in the ring and he just doesn't have it though it's usually older fighters. Whether it was the weight or who knows what Curry looked weak to me and off . He never regained the form he had before this fight and to me anyway that suggests his rapid fall was mental more than physical.

 

The thing that is always overlooked is everything that happened was Don's fault. He chose to listen to people(Trainer) instead of those that had been with him for years(Gorman}.
Now what Trainer did was pretty bad-advising Curry to stay at welterweight instead of moving up. But Trainer was and always was about the best interest of Leonard and he was removing Curry from the Hagler sweepstakes. But again Don listened to him.
They offered Honeyghan 350k to fight Curry at jr.middle and the reason it was turned down was that if Honeyghan lost it would prove that he caught Curry at the right time.
Now Honeyghan does not get enough credit in my opnion for stepping up to face an unbeaten Curry when many would not. He had the balls to believe in himself and he proved everyone wrong.
But the class between Honeyghan and Curry was apparent when Honeyghan fought Starling who basically outclassed Honeyghan and quite easily. The same Starling that Curry had beaten and almost dropped in the second fight.

 

Don had had the flu wasn't fit to fight was weak as a kitten. Dave Gorman & Paul Reyes wanted to pull him out but Muhammed insisted he fought. Plus he had to sweat to lose weight he never stood a chance really

 

When you say Trainer you must mean that snake in the grass Leonard. Don's trainer Paul Reyes had been with him from the day he started boxing as a kid
