Norris is too big and strong for Taylor.

Also Terry took a better punch back then imo. I honest believe that Norris's chin gradually got worse throughout his career because of the punishment he had taken, he loved to mix it up too much did Norris.

Around that time his chin was pretty good, its makes me laugh when people put Norris and Khan in the same sentence because Norris could actually take a decent lick back then, where as Khan gets wobbled by a guy with 5 KO in 25+ fights. Remember Norris has been in there with Leonard,Mugabi,Curry all good punchers.

People only remember Norris for Julian Jackson wrecking him.

You had to box against Norris and you could be fine.

The thing about Taylor is he was a great boxer but he had too much "Philly fighter" in him to hope he would do that a whole fight.

Taylor is always too small and hittable for Norris.

Taylor definitely took into the trenches too much, ironically enough so did Norris and as you know he paid for it on occasion.

I just feel that Taylor needs more than his pitty patter flurries to keep Norris off him. You probably already know this but Norris was not the biggest 154lbs but he was physically strong at 154 and he had decent pop to.

I think he overwhelms any Taylor, then again i am biased :

i just always thought their styles were similar

I would say they are in terms of they both have fast hands, both good Boxers (when Norris decided to Box) and they are both combination punchers. I think Norris threw with more authority though and he was more aggressive on the whole.

Its a fair comparison to make though because there are similarities.
