    Trinidad vs. Norris. What Happened?

    Does anyone know the reason why Terry Norris ducked Félix Trinidad? I knew about the fight back in the day, but I was not the compulsive boxing fan that I am now, so I did not follow the whole story. I also did some research but did not find why the fight fell through. Was Norris afraid or was it a money thing??

    He probably ducked him.. Im no fan of Cheato, but his punching power combined with Norris glass chin would have been a knockout for Tito

      Great to see you giving the credit. Damn, this fight would have looked awesome on Trinidad's record. About Norris, I would not blame him after getting KTFO by that other beast, Julian Jackson.

          I think he was talking about a hypothetical catch weight at 154.. I think Norris fought at 154 against Ray leonard at one point, that's what he was referring to

            Tito would have knocked him the puck out as Pedro Fernandez would say.

              You calling me a dumbass? Wtf are you saying? It's no secret that Trinidad was supposed to face Norris in 1997 at 154. Get your facts right, kid.

                  But the funny thing is that I have my facts right. Trinidad was scheduled to face Norris in 1997. Norris pulled out of the fight and Waters(who gave Norris hell) stepped in as a replacement. All I wanted to know was if someone heard the "real" reason why Norris did not want the fight. This friggin' idiot replied just for the sake of it. It was clear that he did not know crap about this match.
