Terry Norris

[Mr. Ryan]

Terry Norris was one of those guys, like a Jones, Ali, Leonard, that any amateur kid would want to try and emulate... you wanted "to do stuff Terry orris did"

I believe Norris fought something like 300 amateur fights, he had experience. Norris was the perfect offensive machine, he had crushing power in both hands but he tended to let his defense get by him like a Joan Guzman. He was in for some exciting stuff all the time because of that and his less than sturdy chin. The best round you will ever see is the second with Troy Waters, that was absolutely phenomenal. He suffered a lot of knockout losses because he tended to get ****y and overlook his men, particularly Carl Daniels.

I know Iceman is getting tired of me nuthugging David Reid, but Norris fought very similar to him with the way they threw their combinations.

I don't remeber Norris having troubles with Daniels. Reid did not have the Norris hook or the make miss make em pay approach Norris did. When Waters hit Norris when he was down I had to laugh cause Norris had done it so much.

I love watching the audience gasping for dear life when Terry goes down. **** is surreal. You can see his wife in the background jumping up and down frantically.

Wasn't it Daniels who beat him? No my bad, I'm thinking of Simon Brown, who stopped him on some hail mary ****.

**** son that was a round! Ive only seen a handfull of Norris fights but i like what ive seen, His main problem seems to be his chin but that added to the excitement! He had all the tools and imo is under rated, that being said ive only seen like 4 fights and a bunch of highlights!

He was always on Don King's big cards, but never the main event. He was awesome, everything you describe, and a very mean fighter - he was one of those fighters that you felt genuinely wanted to hurt his opponents.

I was looking forward to him challenging Toney when his contract with King ran out, after the Toney/Tiberi fight he was calling Toney out a lot I remember and I tipped him to beat the **** out of Toney at the time (ofcourse, that was before Toney put in that ridiculously good performance against Barkley). But then he signed another contract with King..

...That round was incredible for sure.

LMAO @ people saying Norris was a complete fighter. This ****er never had any heart and a possessed a paper chin. That would make 2 major flaws.

Think you're on your own there son. Yea chin was not solid but nobody who has seen him fight would say he had no heart.

I just can't go for fighters who routinely do some of the nasty things Norris did. He definitely had speed and so forth but not on Roy's level. Norris should have learned how to keep his chin tucked more and think about defense. Then he might have beaten Jackson.
