    Terry Norris was the greatest!

    Just think about it: he beat Sugar Ray like he was a kid, prime Sugar Ray or not he still was only 34. He killed Donald Curry and Meldrick Taylor and John Mugabi. He had virtually (and that is the right word, for he looked like he wasn't real!) unrivalled speed, movement, reflexes and timing. When he threw that left hook it was like a missile!

    So why have people forgotten him?

    Your giving him credit for beating up ruined/ past their prime fighters?

      Like who? SRL? Nah, he wasn't ruined. He also beat Donald Curry and Maurice Blocker and Jorge F Castro. I forgot to say he also had great precision, accuracy. Rarely missed with his punches.

        Terry was vicious no doubt. His offense was crazy! His chin however definitely wasn't made of granite. Infact, it was ever so fragile.

            Terry Norris together with Barry Mcguigan is what tarnishes the Hall of Fame status. Bunch of ordinary fighters who were recognized for their mediocrity.

                You gotta be joking. His wins over Leonard and Taylor are tainted by the fact that they weren't in their prime.

                Leonard had been gone for a while since then and was way past his prime. Taylor suffered serious problems after his robbery from Chavez.

                I know you like Terry Norris but don't down other fighters who weren't the same when they fought him.
