    The rematch title fight is where Curry started to show us he was a real class act. Starling was in top form and offered no excuses. He basically said Curry was too big and strong for the division from memory. It was close but Curry showed he was the better man in there, certainly IMO.

    Not Don curry

    certainly not Starling!
    Breland although tall, didnt have any strength in his legs

    I can still remember his first fight with Starling. Starling wasnt putting that much pressure on him and his legs kept buckling.

    The only ones I see having a realistic chance with Duran are Brown and Honeyghan who are a cut above the others
