I wouldn't pick Buddy over either. Honeyghan would be too strong, for one. Also, you do realize that Starling whitewashed Brown also, dont you?
Must be a sad day for Terp. He hates Curry, and he must realize that his African robot hero will never make the HOF.
Really I think most of the fight would come down to Starling feinting and boogalooing in front of Ike guard. I think Ike’s jab edges most of the rounds and he could score well with some of his slappy pull counter moves if Starling tries to come forward.
I think Starling was better than Quartey, but he did at times have a tendency to let fighters steal rounds off him because he played too much.
