I'm not a huge Curry fan, but he had much better skills than Trinidad. 5 rounds sounds about right.

Curry was a nice boxer- hands up high, elbows tucked in, good punch...but he never wiped the canvas with anyone great. No way he beats Trinidad.

Peak Curry KO7 Trinidad

The 1985 version of Curry is the greatest boxer I have ever seen

Why ask a question like this. Everybody is always going to beat Trinidad on all these polls based on his performance against Hopkins and Wright.

Typical Trinidad fight. He gets dropped in the second round, is behind on the cards after 6, and finally brutally stopping Curry sometime before the 11th round.

A good fight. Trinidad was one of my favorite fighters over the past 20 years, but Curry was better technically. If Trinidad could make it through to around the 8th, or 9th round then he would have a good chance of stopping Curry, but I don't think Trinidad would make it past the second. The second round was Trinidad's worse, but unlike the many others that dropped Trinidad in the 2nd, Curry would be able to finish the show. Curry KO 2.

Curry by Ko in 1st or second rounds... I've always found Trinidad rather overrated, good to watch but far too static and soft-chinned... a very good fighter but not 'great'... at his best Curry was for a while a 'great' fighter... certainly closer to great than Felix imo...
