Curry had the potential to be an all-time great fighter, but he had too much trouble battling the scale. If he had managed his weight better, he could have been a long-reigning and dominant welterweight champion. But to say he was a better defensive fighter than Ray Leonard in their respective primes is curious at best. Ray Leonard wouldn't have been touched by Honeyghan at 147.

Curry was sharp in his prime, a better defensive fighter than even Ray Leonard.

Curry had so much talent. I was shocked when he lost to Honeyghan and then, was never the same
