Comments Thread For: Terry Norris: A Few in My Era Would Beat Mayweather - Including Me!

[!! Shawn]

Terry Norris, was what Amir Khan is today, fast hands, good power & glass jaw. I mentioned before that Mayweather's only flaw is that he lacks power so a fight with Khan would be interesting b/c Khan has reach, speed & power that could give Floyd, well, a run for his Money.

Lets be fair. Terry Norris was a hell of a lot better boxer than Amir Khan...



Terry Norris had much sounder fundamentals, hit much harder and was much better defensively.

He has a reputation for being chinny, but the only guy that stopped him in his prime was god damn julian jackson... Who... could stop anyone if he caught them clean.

Its not like he was Khan chinny getting wobbled by jabs.

Terry was a great fighter his chin was not bad, he just had too many wars and caught up with him

The biggest puncher that Mayweather fought was Maiden who really is an Argentine club fighter can you imagine Mayweather dancing from Julian Jackson for 12 rounds at Light Middleweight

The biggest problem is that he was in a gym war environment. The wars he fought in the gym took a much bigger toll on him than the wars he fought in the ring. And notably he would frequently go to war with is brother Orlin Norris who is a was cruiserweight.

You must be those youtube kids recently registered on this site being plagued by those bogus agenda driven youtube channels. That's cool.

Your dumbass said Pac fought Bradley, stating that Pac fought a slick african-american, and then I had to school your boxing knowledge tha Floyd fought Judah, a once HBO star, with 3 losses before fighting Floyd. Judah fought Tszyu, is Ruslan a more skilled boxer than Tszyu?

It's fun seeing you not understand Judah was a great fighter. But what do you know about Lineal titles

Judah got demolished by Tszyu, and lost to baldomir the fight before. Floyd fought him coming off a loss. Hardly the best example.

Especially with Judah having a reputation as a 4 round fighter, since... Judah was beating Floyd for the first 4 rounds, before he pulled a Judah and... you know... fell apart.

I don't know for sure, but I think Norris would lose. He'd get chin checked.

Chin checked by Floyd...?

[!! Shawn]

Really? Because Canelo, Cotto, Hatton, Corrales, mosley, and that dlh guy didn't all have high ko ratios right? ****ing stupid

Did you just compare those guys power to Julian Jacksons?

[!! Shawn]

It's hard to compare fighters from different eras because boxing has changed so much.
Norris had 56 fights in 12 years.
Mayweather had 49 fights in 18 years.
Norris fought Leonard, Mugabi, Jackson, Curry Simon Brown, Meldrick Taylor and other outstanding fighters. Unfortunately for Mayweather there just wasn't that level of talent around for him to fight.
Terry was a great fighter in a great era and he has a point. I don't think FM goes undefeated in that era, but we'll never know.

There was that level of talent around. Floyd just chose to sit around and wait for them all to beat each other before picking them off late in their careers.

He had Hatton and others seeing stars.

Many in history would be 50 50 against floyd at least. We don't know if the people floyd has beat could beat Norris.

We dont know if anyone could beat Floyd on a given night especially at his best weight of 130 where he had power to take you out , the guy has never been beaten as a pro over 20yrs in 4 weight classes , he has beaten the premier fighters of this era and his career has been amazing , when people cant stop talking about a guy you know that guy really made it , look at his dominance in this forum nobody has captured the sport like he has .


Off course that leaves the proverbial barn door wide open for the nay sayers to tear up everything he ever did , to degrade what you dont like is human nature and an unbeaten career leaves the door wide open for opinion , which is always of no real substance just opinion and innuendo .
Opinion has never lost a disagreement just ask the one holding it ,,,

The reality is Floyd is the best of his era he proved it , whether Norris could beat him or Leonard could best him or Barrera the list of opinion on who beats him is a mile wide , but it only matters to people that thrive on BS , most are jealous of Floyd because he always won , jealousy over someones success is such a empty emotion .

History will be kind with Floyd because it will take time to absorb what he achieved in boxing .

[!! Shawn]

He had Hatton and others seeing stars.

So because Floyd caught a 140lber cold, who went on to get knocked out twice more... you think he could even bother one of the best 154lbers of all time?

Because Floyd shows such good power at 147... right?

Like how he stopped Cotto... Wait no... that was Pacquiao and Margarito... Like how he dropped Cotto?... no wait... he didn't do that either... Like how he wobbled Cotto?... Wait ****... he didn't even do that...

But he is gonna chin check Terry Norris...

Hahahaha!

Cute answer, Norris. Yeah all Floyd's opponents had the same style. Floyd never saw a mixup of boxing styles, ever.

He didn't see anybody like Terry Norris. Or Sugar Ray Leonard, or Thomas Hearns or Roberto Duran.
