Why do people rate Donald curry so highly?

God Curry in his prime was something- soild defense and oh so fast in a subtle way.
That counter hook he hit Milton with was beautiful.
And he just tore apart Colin Jones to the point it was a complete mismatch and Jones was soild.
Nino could FLY across the ring and yet Curry tracked him down and finished him in 6 rounds.

 

Perfect summary of why, for a brief couple year period, Curry was one of the best there has ever been at 147.

 

Why did people rate Curry so highly ? Just check out his fights vs Starling 2, McCrory, Jones, that should answer your question.

 

Rosi like him or not was a champion for awhile and gave everyone trouble when he fought them. By the time Curry met him Curry was shot and yet Curry dropped Rosi a bunch of times and won. Watch the counter shots that Curry dropped Rosi with.

 

Due to short-term greatness.

 

Dave Gorman wanted Don to drop out of the fight he was weak as a kitten. It was Akhbar Muhammad insisted he fight. Honeyghan knew he got lucky, that wasn't the real Donald Curry he fought. It would have been a different story then
