    Orlin Norris , could he fight any better ?

    Does anyone here have any idea about how could he have been a better fighter than he was ? Just look at the guys he fought.
    He was 5'9" with perpetual knee injury , matched against men like Vitali Klitschko , Henry Akiwande , Tony Tucker (twice) , Andrezj Golota , Oliver McCall and Greg Page , and then some more , and how did he fight against them.
    Did he have any knocks in his technique/style ?
    How should his style be called ?

    I really can't answer about naming his style but I feel he was weakened by dropping to cruiserweight and it messed up his career. I also thought he beat Tony Tucker but didn't get the decision before dropping to cruiser. He wasn't quite the defensive fighter Qawi was but he was a very good boxer. Unfortunitely he wasn't managed very well.
