Makes you wonder how well he'd do if he was prime. I still think Norris could beat him.

I disagree with that logic, Pastrano. I think Leonard beats him handily, as poet said, different class of fighter.

Honestly I always liked Terry Norris. He was a terrific offensive fighter. But nobody during his time was comparing him with Sugar Ray Robinson. And the Ray Leonard he beat was washed up and foolishly fighting at a weight too low for him. You're just not going find much (any?) support projecting Norris as one of the 10 best fighters who ever lived by giving him a good chin.

I have a tough time thinking that any credible boxing writer actually penned an article putting Norris on par with Robinson
