    How does The Cobra at his peak fare against the likes of Pernell, Oscar, Tito, Shane, Vernon, and Ike?

    at his peak, he beats them all. i could see tito stopping him late, but i'd still pick curry.

    He beats all of them except for maybe Tito.

    He'd quit to all of them.

    I'd make it a "pick em" with Trinidad. Curry has better skills but Trinidad would be in it to the end and is a serious threat to stop Curry at any time.

    He'd probably outbox De La Hoya in a very competitive fight but Oscar would go into survival mode once he tastes Curry's power.

    Curry is all wrong for Mosley IMO. He'd outmuscle him if Mosley gets in close and his harder and more damaging punches would discourage the smaller guy.

    He would stop Forrest early like he did against McCrory.

    He would have a fun fight with Quartey but he'd either stop him late with one of those left hooks or win a clear UD.

    Pernell at his welterweight best would be an interesting fight but Curry was quicker and he would pick and choose his spots en route to a decision victory.

    If he gave Pernell some white, I'm sure Pea would let him do it.
