    Starling was good but I am not sure HOF. He sure used his win over Breland to get him some big fights and he had some good wins for few years.

    yeah thats pathetic.....curry unified all 3 welterweight belts back then when it was a real feat....also fought in a few old school 15 rounders , 2 weight division champion.... he burned out quick but made alot bigger impression on boxing than mark johnsons string of IBF title defenses...no unifications...losses in big fights with marquez. i would pick curry over johnson......johnson has a long streak of ibf fights, but then again so did felix sturm who dares not to be great

    never really saw much of him but he held the title twice and past his prime he beat an undefeated Montiel

    he had a tough fight with Marquez and fought 2 fights vs Jhonny Gonzalez

    he didnt lose to any bums except his 2nd fight which he took in Ireland of all places even though he was American I found that odd
