    Yeah and that covering up strategy that he started to employ to turn the fight around wasn't too classy.

      Pacquaio is about volume more than power at 140. He throws twice as many punches as everyone else, therefore it is no one wonder that he can hurt them. He's no Kostya Zsyu.

        pac is a naturally heavy handed fighter. just look at what he did to hatton & him knocking down shane is testament to this.

          I respect Norris, hell of a fighter and very underrated today, but I disagree.

          I think Pacquioa and Mayweather could compete (and be favored) with anybody in the history of boxing from 140 and down. At 147, I think they could still as long as their not facing Hearns, Leonard, Robinson, and a few others. Don't think the likes of prime Mosley and prime De La Hoya could have beaten them. I see a lot of old school guys occasionally hate on them, I sense a slight jealousy at times...could it be because they reached more fame and more money cause they don't have popular Heavyweights to compete with?

            Hatton was a broken fighter after Mayweather. I can't comment on the Mosley fight because I still haven't figured out what the heck that was.

              I've always hated Terrible Terry Norris for beating Sugar Ray Leonard when Leonard was old and broken.

                Terry Norris was one of my favorites. Fun fighter to watch. Hurts to see him like that. But it angers me when some "fan from a boxing forum" disrespect him on here.

                These guys literally put their lives on the line for our entertainment. Show him some respect whether you agree with him or not. Just my opinion...

                    True! He was one hellava fighter...It does seem though that many boxers that been retired for some time have a hard time to give the new era credit.

                      Terry Norris sounds bad. His slurred speech started even before he retired. I remember him at the end of the Mullings loss. He said aaaaaahhhhhh when the fight was stopped. He sounded slurred.
