    Leonard, because he would want it more and he could take punches better... it's a classic duel in terms of skills and talent and technique, both guys do great things... but Leonard can survive Curry's best shots, I don't feel as confident in Curry's ability to do the same the longer it goes... Gimme LEONARD KO15 in a great match

    Nah, Leonard would have him out inside of 10. And I'm a bigger fan of Curry than Leonard. As technically brilliant, and talented as Curry was, Ray was more talented and possesed the extra intangibles that Curry didnt have. Curry doesnt have the ability to maul Ray all night like Duran did, nor does he have the range and jab to box Ray from the outside like Tommy. Curry always had a handspeed edge over the guys he beat in his prime, but against Ray he'd have no such advantage. Then when you factor in Ray's movement, and power, its a bad matchup for Curry.

    Curry has success early, and nails Ray with some good shots. But as the fight progresses, Ray takes control more and more, and starts finding a home for his combos. Finally he puts Curry on queer street(pardon the pun) and finishes him off.

    not at 147, he wouldn't:warning:
