In retrospect, neither should have fought the other at this time, especially Curry, he had a lot more to lose.

How else would they have got paid ?

@@darylwoodard1054 Aye, they shoulda stayed home with mammy n her friends gossiping about the neighbors n complaining about men, like you do.

@@SPIDERM0OSE You dumbass, you know nothing of what is being discussed.

@@darylwoodard1054 I kno, Im guilty. Ive no excuse for not spending more time with you n the girls gossiping n complaining down at the hairdressers but its just this damn masculinity of mine dictating that I keep things real, call a spade a spade n point n laff at hand holding weak bitches when I see em.

Ya man, he got screwed.

Agreed. Curry tried to move up & got picked apart in title fights by McCallum, Norris, & then Nunn. Imagine what Prime Hagler would have done to him.......

@@kufujitsu McCallum would have beat hagler

@@staffh3815 LoLz

Yeah Don was good but he should have left the welters after he beat the Ice man cause even here when Marlon starts putting pressure him he goes back rather than circling Starling

thanks for the update

He didn't get hit solid often so he thought he was untouchable when he was fighting problem was he wasn't busy enough at times

LOL,....... ah you killed me man:)) .................so true:)

+Joey Gonza Right? HA! Floyd made his opponents wear those giant maxi pads.

Joe Horizon Marlon Starling was Floyd Sr's daddy too. Marlon beat him twice .

LOL. And he probably shouldn't have taken this fight, Let Donald and Milton duke it out, fight the winner around mid-1983

Curry is a great boxer no doubt but macculum outsmarted him to setup that knockout look at the the fight again he picked up on curry habits and flaws and timed the left hook beautifully one of the best ko in boxing history especially against someone as skilled as curry

@@outlawboxing1923 That wasn't set up, he threw it in anger n frustration. McCallum was a very clever boxer n you may be correct but its not wat I seen. Wanna see a KO set up look how Canelo set Khan up over 3 rounds. Look how Sugar Ray Leonard set up Dave Boy Green over 2:rounds or watch Sugar Ray Robinson how he would condition van opponent to accept a certain shot, usually a hook to the body then pull the rug out from under him. McCallum threw reactively coz Curry was was doing the setting up n executing. McCallum wasnt exactly in desperation mode but he was entering it, he refused to play ball but he set nothing up there. Curry got caught admiring his own work n paid the price for that novice mistake against a great fighter.

SPIDERM0OSE I haven seen the fight for years but from what I remember macculum set up curry from faking to the body which was his trademark then going upstairs green and khan were domestic British level fighters much easy to set them up then someone like curry even way if it was curry mistake macculum took advantage of it making him the better fighter on the night

@@outlawboxing1923 Khan is an Olympic Silver, Curry coulda at best only got to the same stage of the contest as him Khan has won at least one n fought world titles at different weights, on the night he might not have won em all but he was beyond British domestic level, way beyond it. Lloyd Honeyghan was closer to British domestic level than Khan n he stopped Curry. Green was European Champion, back then with no IBF or WBO its the equivalent of holding one of the big 4 world titles. Leonard is an all time great n made it look way easier than it was, Green was a good fighter about where Liam Smith is today n maybe a slight step down from Ricky Hatton but he was beyond domestic Brit level. Brits back then didn't get to the world stage unless they had a genuine chance of winning, there was far less opportunities back then, on any given night its a 50/50 fight between Hatton & Green. And yes, that one moment of the fight, that one moment in that entire night where McCallum had more success & quality than Curry was enough to get him the win, thats boxing at the top level, one lapse in concentration n its game over, well done, well spotted 👍

SPIDERM0OSE I disagree with khan yes he did achieve things at the world level to be fair and he was a great amateur but that’s only to the lack of depth in pro boxing these days in the 80s khan would have been irrelevant thing about this he got outsmarted by Danny Garcia who figured him out in 3 rounds hahahahaha he made Danny Garcia look like a prime duran smh

@indiglo1971.....yeah that was a great late round stoppage over virgil hill

@@Anthony-Testicali what are you guys talking about?

@@uncletony6210 its irony uncle..sarcasm ...at the imagined fight indiglo thinks happened Your respectful nephew Raja

@@Anthony-Testicali ok, I was worried about the twos of you for a moment, but I'm still concerned about old man indiglo. he's remembering things that never were...

@@uncletony6210 you were right to call us out uncle 80% of people on the net talk out of their backside about stuff that didnt happen .

I agree with nvirzi nvirzi he was a very good fighter. He wasn't over rated.

Starling and Curry were major competition for the Sugar man in their primes
