A better, more even fight might be Zab vs Milton McCrory or Colin Jones.

If Zab couldnt beat a bum like Carlos Baldomir, I dont see how he beats Colin Jones.

Ive ALWAYS liked Zab, used to be a HUGE fan... but he's outta his element vs most top welters. He just so happened to have the right style to beat Spinks, but Donald Curry is a several light years ahead of Spinks.

Zab fares better in MM with 140 pounders. That was his best, and natural weight.

I mean for example... I'd pick the prime 140 Zab to beat the **** outta Devon Alexander.

Well for starters Curry had TWO fisted power, as opposed to Tszyu who's primary weapon was the right. Curry had better, quicker footwork then Tszyu, and shortened up his punches better, and Donald overall was the more fluid boxer with a better defense.

Curry also has the better wins of the two as he obliterated McCrory, Lacrocca, and Jones, all of whom were very good fighters, and twice beat Starling, who was an excellent fighter.

P4P the only thing I'd give Tszyu over Curry is a better chin. Power is about equal P4P. But Curry was better then Tszyu in every other aspect of the game.

Curry in his brief prime was a VERY special fighter. Shame he burnt out so quickly.

Tszyu was a great fighter with more longevity then Curry, but trust me.... prime for prime Kostya wasnt as special as Curry.

I respect Curry he was a great fighter but he did not have better skills. Tszyu had great precision and timing and very underrated footwork esp. offensive--that lightning quick shuffle that set up his punches--and that's why he never had problems landing his punches. Take for example a shot top-heavy Sharmba Mitchell whose head movement gave Floyd fits as he was unable to land anything to the head as he himself admitted in the post-fight interview. Tszyu landed his punches with ease.

Curry's better than Zab. He's not better than Tszyu, by any stretch of the imagination.
