Most vicious knockouts

that was the fastest left hook i think.**** that. that ive EVER seen in my life. even on multiple replays i couldnt tell what hit him

Yep, Curry did have some exceptional handspeed and that left hook was just about as picture perfect as you'd see...Curry basically ended the fight right there with that one punch because, although McCrory got up at seven (after stumbling on a couple tries), he was completely defenseless for the straight right hand that followed from Curry (which was easily the more "vicious" of the two punches, I thought).

did curry have power? or just a plain boxer

Yep, he showed one punch power at times (like you saw), although that's not exactly what he was most known for, and I'd say he was similiar to Ray Leonard in that regard. Guys who could definate hit with quite a bit of "snap" to their punches, but have a large amount of other skills which kinda overshadow that proven ability to hit and take guys out.

And his style was dependant on his opponent mainly, as he could adapt either way, but yes, he was probably better known for his ability to box behind his high guard from the outside with some pretty good & quick legs, and then look for openings to come inside to shoot off those accurate combos of his (head & body...good left hook down there)...More of a mid to longe range sharpshooter though, who very much liked to throw straight up the middle.

Hey Versa, I was going to offer to upload a Curry fight or two for you, but I noticed that YouTube has Curry vs. Colin Jones (one of Curry's best performances, I thought) up on the site if you wanted to take a look at Curry for yourself.

Curry's time at the top was brief......but while he was on top, he was the best fighter I have ever seen.
He was just about perfect, & that KO of the very good Milt McCrory was him at the peak of his powers.
Unfortunately, he sorta crashed to earth. Don't know what the cause was...something mental, managerial, or his constant battle to make 147.

and ppl never give tyson credit for his holmes win. i feel so bias there

Holmes was inactive for two years and 38. Liston was only 32 and fairly active fighting every year.

lol at the commentator "OH NO!!!!!! THAT'S WHAT WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT!!!!!!!"

That is so painful watching man. Every British boxing fan probably felt that knock out like it was hitting them.




I don't care what people say about Naz but featherweights dont deliver power like he did.
