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.

He had plenty of skills, speed power boxing skills and a good jab.

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.
