I didn't like the way he was trading with Troy Waters and Simon Brown in their first fight and taking those punches. He should have fought him like he did in their rematch, giving him lateral movment and counter punching. His corner came up with a horrible game plan of having Norris bring the fight to him. I agree about the Mugabi fight, it was one of his best performances as well as his fight with Curry ect. Just imagine if he had a better chin? Hes already in the hall of fame now, but he would gave most likely became an all time great. He was one of the most fluent boxer i have watched.
who would you root for if u had to outta Calzaghe or Tarver

i think you are right it was foolish of him to trade with Brown as he was a good puncher he should of known better and allthough Waters had a good KO % at the time he had not really beaten anyone of any note so i cant blame Norris for trying to walk straight through him
Brown 2 was a master class of Boxing combination punching
as good as Roy Jones IMO if he had a better chinComment

Agreed, Norris was boxing the socks off of Julian Jackson as well until he was caught cold. Do you believe that Dawson could turn out the way Norris did? A fighter with all of the skills but has that fighters mentality and is easily taken out of their game, on top of their chins? I noticed that in his fight with Johnson. He was boxing Johnson easily from the outside and keeping him at bay, but he let his ego get the best of him and gave Johnson his opportunities. I think Dawson will be fine though, he just needs to tighen up his defense and learn to stick to his game plan especially against the big ****ers.i think you are right it was foolish of him to trade with Brown as he was a good puncher he should of known better and allthough Waters had a good KO % at the time he had not really beaten anyone of any note so i cant blame Norris for trying to walk straight through him

Ironically i do have that same feelingAgreed, Norris was boxing the socks off of Julian Jackson as well until he was caught cold. Do you believe that Dawson could turn out the way Norris did?

(hes not....he beat an old Jones with a lucky punch and all of a sudden hes a "legend killer"
)
hes really nothing special
(name something Tarver does that excites you? or you think hes one of the best at?)

(which i dont mind but at least have something to back it up......wins over a old Jones and getting your ass beat by an older Hopkins isnt enough sorry)Comment
