    I've said it many times before.....the '84-'86 Donald Curry was the best fighter I've ever seen. I thought during that time he was perfect. Of course he wasn't actually perfect, as he seemed to unravel and eventually went south.

But yeah, although he was a solid fighter and a good puncher, especially with the left hook, it was his younger brother Donald who was the pick of the two. He had plenty of skills, speed power boxing skills and a good jab. He just never quite made it to atg status unfortunately

        Yeah, the first Curry/Benitez fight was a travesty. Curry definitely won it.

        Donald did look very special for a brief time before Honeyghan, but I think it just a fighter like him, McCallum, etc to bring out the faults that were there but just didn't show up against lesser guys, or different styles.

            As great as I think McCallum was, I think had Curry not fallen off dramatically like he did after the Honeyghan debacle...he'd have beaten McCallum. Let's not forget how Curry completely destroyed a much better Milt McCrory than the one McCallum took ten rounds to take apart (I know- could have been a style issue), and most importantly how he twice defeated Marlon Starling. Starling was terrific and incredibly difficult and Curry solved him and showed he was superior.
