I really liked his defense, he'd just dip or slip a punch by just doing some subtle things in there, he made it look easy in his prime. And I agree, he had some concentration issues like when he drops his left hand or backing up straight but overall his defense was superb in his prime.
Yeah, that left hook came out of nowhere, Curry was boxing great in that fight, he was leading and even stunned McCallum, who had a very good chin, almost dropped him with a right hand I think in the 3rd (?) round. McCallum said he set up that left hook by throwing a wild uppercut to the body first to confuse Curry, he said he made Curry think that he was going to the body with the left hand but instead went upstairs with it, beautiful punch.
I can agree with TheMachine about Honeyghan, perhaps the Starling loss ruined him because there was a steep decline between that fight and the Breland fight, he looked shot against Breland, but you're right, he never put on the type of performance he put on against Curry again.
