Another year of International Boxing Hall of Fame voting has come and gone. It will be another year where Donald Curry, the one time undisputed welterweight champion of the world, did not get the call. There was a time where Curry looked like he might be the pound for pound leader of the sport. A possible showdown with middleweight champion Marvin Hagler seemed inevitable. He was a thrilling knockout artist who could also box an opponent silly. The road to lasting greatness was open.

GREAT read Cliff !!

MAAT are brilliant, a great read.

Curry was an excellent WW at a time when that division was tough.
He looked unbeatable after the McCrory KO, but couldn't handle success.
Eventually lost 4 out of his last 7.
In his prime a Mayweather fight is 50/50.

I think it was his losses to less accomplished Fighters that hurt him more than his wins not even considering the two losses to Lloyd...

love your take on Froch, he had an outstanding career..... a real over-achiever

One thing I didn't like about Curry's style was the habit of holding his hands under his chin. He also leaned forward quite a bit and it appeared to me that his head was out past his hands.

"Eventually lost 4 out of his last 7"...............

Those bouts were at Middleweight not Welter..


"In his prime a Mayweather fight is 50/50"..............

He beats Mayweather all day in his prime.
