    Does Curry have a chance? Or does he get mugged?

    I think he gets mugged. Imagine if Honeyghan had a defence.

    I think Curry's handspeed and technical skill make it competitive early, but Basilio breaks him down at some point.

    His victory over Robinson secures his place among the ATGs. That was his Frazier-Ali I moment.

    Yeah, although I'd rate Frazier's win way higher. Robinson was nowhere near as close to his best as Ali was.

    i tought Robinson should have gotten the nod in their first fight. But i haven't watched that fight in nearly two decades so i might be mis-rebembering it:D
