    Up to the fight with Curry, Honeyghan was a smooth boxer puncher with pretty decent power. After knocking around Curry and KOing Bumphus, Lloyd fought like he was a big puncher, which he wasn't particularly. It was his undoing and his boxing was sacrificed for an all out brawling style which led to him taking a lot of punishment against Vaca and Starling.

    His performance against Starling has to be the dumnbest fight strategy I have seen from a fighter in my memory.

    Yes, I'll agree with that. He walked through both Bumphus and Hatcher who both had been light welters and then thought he could do it to everyone else. Starling was a different kettle of fish, in fact in Currys stretch of peak performances Starling gave him a decent argument.

    Better yet, he does mean Chavez, and was refering to Roger Mayweather.

    Thomas Hearns - Benitez to Hutchings.

    The only hiccup in that five fight stretch was problems with his right hand. toally alleviated vs Duran and Hutchings.
