    Does Curry go down here, or can he out-box Walker Smith Jr?

    He gets beat up at 154

    Peak 147 Curry vs. Robinson is a tremendous fight, if they fight 10 times, Robinson wins most of them, but Curry probably gets a couple of decisions too

    I gotta disagree. Big time disagree.

    Robinson KO's Curry 100/100 times.

    Curry's chin NEVER EVER EVER stands up to Robinson's power for 15 rounds.

    Best case scenario, 85 Curry gives Robinson a good fight - before eventually getting plastered.

    Robinson's chin and stamina win out here.

    Curry would have to end this early to win because from the middle rounds on, Robinson is in his rhythm with jabs, hooks, and those killer body shots.

    Robinson KO 7
     
  5. too easy.....
     
  6. Ah.....you admit Curry has a suspect chin when you match him up against the GOAT, but put him against modern fighters than can punch like Tito or De La Hoya and Suddenly Curry is Hagler? lol And y'all call me biased.

    I think his chin was fine, frankly

    His chin wasn't great. Was it Khan-like bad? HELL NO! Was it good enough to handle Robinson's firepower? No. Absolutely not. And Robinson WOULD land.

    Curry's defense was excellent, that's what negated his lack of a great chin.

    His chin was DECENT, but I don't trust it holding up to Ray's power.

    Both Sugar Ray's KO Curry, every single time.

    Curry beats Sugar SHANE.

    Trinidad, I admit would have an excellent chance against Curry.

    DLH? He has a chance, but I heavily favor Curry by UD over Oscar.

    DLH and Trinidad weren't in the same UNIVERSE as Robinson. That's what it comes down to.
     
  10. I get that Trinidad and Oscar are not as good as Robinson but I terms of power I think Trinidad is close. In any event you agree that Tito would have a good shot at stopping Curry. At 154 in particular Tito would have ruined the maricon

    At 154 Tito stops Curry.

    At 147 I pick Curry, but concede that Tito is a live dog.

    Curry kicks Oscar's ass though. He's a bad matchup for Oscar.
