    Thomas Hearns vs Donald Curry at 147 lbs, Both Prime. Does The Lobe Star Cobra take care of The Hit man?

    Hearns knocks out Curry within 5 rounds. As awesome as prime Curry was for a short time he’s not gonna be able to handle someone like Hearns.

    Tommy by mid round knockout. I think Donald would be tough, but Tommy comes out offensive and Donald didn't do well in that mode.

    As good as Curry was Tommy was better. His right hand finds a home on Curry's chin at some point.

    Hearns would smoke Curry. This ain't McCrory that Curry is in with this time.

    Curry would be at a handspeed disadvantage for one, which is something he never had to deal with in his prime. Coupled with Tommy's length and reach. Plus, I've mentioned so many times in the past how Curry had a horrible habit of pulling straight back from punches - Honeyghan exposed that flaw, and then McCallum exposed it far more brutally.

    This wouldn't go far. Hearns would simply overwhelm Curry and bomb him out early.

    Tommy in 3.
