    The 85 Curry vs the Benitez that beat Palomino. Who wins?

    My money would be on benitez to outland him and probably win about 10-5. Low action, frustrating fight, similar upright counter punching styles, both waiting for the other guy to lead

    I'd go with Will also.

    Curry was a beautiful technician, but he was less dynamic than Leonard and Hearns, and also a step slower than two guys.

    I think Curry's more methodical style plays into Benitez's hands.

    Will by UD.

    Curry being undersold here, IMO

    Benitez had a hell of time with BRUCE, never mind Donald

    This is a pick-em, to me

    We all know that just like with James Toney, on an "off" night Benitez was capable of struggling with a fighter he had no business struggling with.

    If this fight is at 147, then he'll assume Will realizes Donald was no joke, and it'd be the Benitez that beat Palomino in there.

    And Curry is a much taller order for a defensive-minded fighter than Palomino was
