Terry Norris thread

[Benncollinsaad]

I dont really want to get into whether he is an ATG or not TBH because its all about doing what we are doing now, bickering.

Like i said if you wanna make a case he is an ATG, what ever, but to make him number 4 ........

As I said, MY list, MY pick. Now lets return. I had him at 5 first if its of any comfort to you.

Not that big? He was 5'9 and quite muscular, as you can see from this pic. I don't think he was a more natural ww. But he would clean up down there for sure.

He said himself he could make 147 easy enough.

Quartey, Hearns are what i call a big WW's

Quartey was 5'7 or 5'8. But he was strong. Hearns the biggest WW before PWill.

All of the late 1980's WW's were pretty big. Breland was 6'3 but he was naturally skinny and couldn't put on any pounds. Milton McCrory was huge at 6'2 and drained himself to make weight. 6'2 Maurice Blocker who later fought Norris was a big WW as well.

And Hugo Pineda is 6'1. But he's a 90's fighter. Later moved up as high as cw. 6'4 Guillermo Jones fought as ww too in the start.

I think Norris fought at 149 against Meldrick Taylor. He could have surely made the welterweight limit.

How would you see his chance against Whitaker, Tito, DLH, Chavez?

He was not that big of a 154 pounder and had spoken about moving down to 147 to get a big fight with Chavez or Whitaker.

I know he's gonna respond with hate to this, but whatever.

I think Whitaker would have beaten him but would have definitely had a lot of problems.

I'm not too sure about the Tito and DLH match-ups because.. yeah I just can't pick a sure winner.

As for Chavez, I think Norris would have beaten him. Chavez would be too small for Norris, in my opinion. Would be a heck of a battle, though. I don't think it would end in a knockout though. Probably Norris via decision.

Please don't laugh like a ****. What nr would you put him at? I don't give a **** what any of you think, Norris was one of the greatest!

4 is far fetched. He was an excellent fighter, but his resume lack compared to true greats and his crushing defeats cannot be over looked. He isn't top 50 in my opinion but MAY crack the top 75. Thats no slight on Norris, there have just been a ton of great fighters through out history with better credentials.

Im done with your threads from now on Herbet. You are just too biased to have a good convo with.

Fans like you should stick to NSB with the rest of the ball hangers who blindly idolize fighters.

Credentials? Is he to blame that he didn't exactly fight at the most exciting time? That's unfair.
