Imagine Terry Norris vs Floyd Mayweather at 147

Biggest problem Norris could have imo, is if he came out with that destroyer attitude and trying to load up and hurt Mayweather, that's not the way to beat Mayweather, connecting will suffice, if Norris were to fight this way, could get outboxed in spells. If Norris just concentrated on the jab, used his speed instead of the power, put him combination's together, he would give Mayweather hell. Norris's combination punching would negate Mayweather's shoulder roll, simply because he would throw combination's at speed to the point where Mayweather wouldn't be able to find enough transitions for defense to offense.

Prime Norris was never a welterweight. Terry Norris was not a big 154 pounder, he said after the Taylor fight he could make 147.

This seems like an unfair question, huh? Norris wasn't a 147 fighter, at least not at his best.

What makes you think this? He was only a WW at the beginning of his career when he was still fighting tomato cans. I just realized TS made it at 147. And Norris barely had any fights at 147. But for Junior Middleweight fights, he weighed a lot lower than the 154 limit. An indication that he could have made 147 without much trouble. He also fought Taylor at a catchweight of 150.5 and officially weighed 149. Could he have been just as effective at 147? Who knows? But the possibility of Norris being a beast at 147 is not far-fetched at all.

^^^^^^^this. At 147 I believe Norris can be as potent as his optimal jr MW reign, though he might never be at his prime at WW. And no Floyd hater here, but I think and doubt he'll step in the ring with him. Norris' also a beast at training, relentless sparring. What makes you think this? He was only a WW at the beginning of his career when he was still fighting tomato cans.

Pacquiao vs JC Chavez at 140

Why was that? why does everyone eventually abandon it against floyd? That quick counter is an effective tool I highly doubt that Mayweathers right counter discouraged Oscar from jabbing lol it was Oscar slowing down in the second half of the fight the way he always did in the latter part of his career.

i try to imagine it, then I can't because floyd would never ever step up to take that fight, (both ways, up in weight cuz norris was a 154er, or actually get in the ring with him)

Prime Norris was never a welterweight. Right. He was hardly a welterweight at all.

Prime Norris was never a welterweight.

I just don't see Floyd having the power at 154 to hurt Norris or even close to take him out. That's fair enough if your saying it COULD happen, but personally i don't even think it could happen, Floyd just doesnt have the power, espeically at 154. I do think Floyds style is quite a bad matchup for Norris but its just not fair matching them together as 154 is Floyd's 5th and final weight class as opposed to Norris were its pretty much his only weightclass and up there with the best at 154. Terrible Terry Norris would have a ball with the pretty boy i think this fight would be very entertaining.Its floyd's great defense against the handspeed and power of the Terrible one.I think that Mayweather would probably try and out box Norris but if Norris can catch him with those fast deadly hands i think he could knock out Mayweather.

the reason i think floyd has a shot for a tko over Norris is because of Norris shaky chin and floyd ability to counter so effectively add to the fact that Norris loves to get into a dog fight. no doubt he would get hit with counter shot he didnt see coming. which in my opinion makes it a possibility that floyd could get a tko. not saying i would lean on that happeining but a possibility. oppose to floyd fighting Duran or Chavez in a fantasy match up. a tko win would not be possible. for the record i thing Terry Norris would win a match with the floyd that has shown up to fight at welter and above. floyd is just too cautious and not active enough to beat a Terry Norris I just don't see Floyd having the power at 154 to hurt Norris or even close to take him out.

Norris jab wouldn't be effective against Mayweather? Complete nonsense. Why wouldn't it be? Norris jab was very effective when he used it and i remember Oscar rarely missing his against Mayweather before he abandoned it. That, combined with Norris agression, food speed, power, and inside game sums uo to be a rough night for Mayweather. Not only that but at the higher weights, Floyd seems content to throw one punch at a time. Norris would have too much size, too much activity, everything. Why was that? why does everyone eventually abandon it against floyd? That quick counter is an effective tool

Floyd Mayweather is my favourite active fighter but there is literally no chance what so ever he KO's Terry Norris at 154, I'm stunned anyone has made this claim. the reason i think floyd has a shot for a tko over Norris is because of Norris shaky chin and floyd ability to counter so effectively add to the fact that Norris loves to get into a dog fight. no doubt he would get hit with counter shot he didnt see coming. which in my opinion makes it a possibility that floyd could get a tko. not saying i would lean on that happeining but a possibility. oppose to floyd fighting Duran or Chavez in a fantasy match up. a tko win would not be possible. for the record i thing Terry Norris would win a match with the floyd that has shown up to fight at welter and above. floyd is just too cautious and not active enough to beat a Terry Norris

fmj would definitely have major problems with the terry norris that stopped mel taylor in 4 rounds...

I think it would be. Floyd has two stoppage wins at welter (against blown up junior welterweights) and Norris is actually a natural junior middleweight who only ran into problems vs big punchers at 154.

with norris shaky chin a floyd ko or tko would have not been out of the question as well I think it would be. Floyd has two stoppage wins at welter (against blown up junior welterweights) and Norris is actually a natural junior middleweight who only ran into problems vs big punchers at 154.

These are real fantasy fights, everybody talks about the obvious Ali v Tyson but this is a legit fight. Great fight, great styles, great fighters Even a current guy like Maidana vs Hatton at 140 ... WOW Norris vs floyd would have been a great fight Norris speed and power would no doubt cause floyd problems. Norris offense is very impressive. kind of offense that would bring the best out of floyd or cause him to shrink into survival mode if he is not able to counter or willing to take the risk. with norris shaky chin a floyd ko or tko would have not been out of the question as well

Norris wont be weight drained and how he is the best 154lber of all time when he beat old or ruined fighters. i.e: john mugabi Norris is a legit fighter at 147 - 154 edit: Even though he fought finished guys, hes still a great talented fighter like Calzaghe who did a similair thing but norris being an american so nobody looks into it Sorry who did he beat at 147 again? All world beatersat the beginning of his career right?
