A peak Curry would've knocked Floyd out.

I don't think anyone gets KO'd.

Floyd doesn't like not having a big speed advantage. And Curry hit harder and was as good a counter puncher if not better.

In pure ability there's little in it. But Curry preferred to face technical boxers whereas Floyd prefers more aggressive fighters. I think the styles favour Don. But it would be a matter of a just few rounds.

What are you basing this on? Floyd's chin is sound and he's as good defensively as Starling.

Tough night for both guys. I'd have to favor Donald Curry in this matchup...but it would be a hard, hard night for both. If it went the distance Floyd would probably eke out a decision, but I think there's a good chance Curry is able to catch him and spark him along the way, or drop him once or twice to have a slight edge on the scorecards.

I like Donald Curry here. This would be Floyd's BIGGEST NIGHTMARE outside the Hearns, Leonards and Durans

Curry during his peak was a thing of beauty.technically perfect,one punch power that could take anyone out ( hell a shot curry hurt McCallum in a way Julian Jackson couldn't and sent the usually sturdy Rossi to the floor 7 times),fantastic reflexes.look at just two of the technical guys he bested in Marlon startling and Nino larocca.

Curry posts a near shut out

The fact a ancient rusty Shane Mosley almost knocked mayweather out in the second round adds proof that curry might even end it
