    Both on their best night. Who wins, and how?

    If noone else dares to give this a try I would vote for Rodriguez by decision. Luis had a handspeed second to none and I think that he would outspeed Curry. I have seen all four fights against Griffith in full and that man Luis Rodriguez would beat Curry. Later when Luis slowed down a bit, that would be another matter

    I think Luis by a hair, real hair.Donald would not be a pushover for him, and he's no slouch in the handspeed department either.But that chin, man, scares me.

    This is a close fight. Curry's hand speed and foot speed give Luis some trouble. But LMR isn't slow by any stretch...and I think LMR's movement would make this difficult at times for Curry to get set and deliver. UD for LMR for me.

    We're talking prime for prime. There is something for everything in this fight. I can see a chess match from the outside which a boxing purist would love. Brilliant jabs and sharp combos from both. I can also see some beautiful exchanges on the inside for those who like war. Nice fight and I've got to go with Luis on workrate over 15 rounds.

    Curtis Cokes could handle Luis Rod.....but Cokes was really tall & rangy.

    LR was Griffith's equal in most cases.

    Nino Benev. ko'ed LR at middle on a desperation punch (ironically the winner of that fight was suppose to give CCokes a shot.....but the fight never happened).

    I go with LR over DCurry by 8-6-1 in 15 rds.
