    Comments Thread For: Terry Norris: A Few in My Era Would Beat Mayweather - Including Me!

    Hall of Famer and former world champion Terry Norris is NOT a fan of today's boxing landscape. A very feared puncher in his day, with good boxing ability. His only flaw was the inability to take a very good punch. Norris retired in 1998 with a record of 47-9, 31KOs.

    Cute answer, Norris. Yeah all Floyd's opponents had the same style. Floyd never saw a mixup of boxing styles, ever.

      Many in history would be 50 50 against floyd at least. We don't know if the people floyd has beat could beat Norris.

        Terry Norris, was what Amir Khan is today, fast hands, good power & glass jaw. I mentioned before that Mayweather's only flaw is that he lacks power so a fight with Khan would be interesting b/c Khan has reach, speed & power that could give Floyd, well, a run for his Money.

          Norris is correct. His style would give Mayweather nightmares.

              Terry was a great fighter his chin was not bad, he just had too many wars and caught up with him

              The biggest puncher that Mayweather fought was Maiden who really is an Argentine club fighter can you imagine Mayweather dancing from Julian Jackson for 12 rounds at Light Middleweight

                Had Mayweather ever fought a very Good Slick African-American fighter? Pacquiao did it with him and Bradley but I can't recall Mayweather with anyone on a very good caliber. He always fought one dimensional fighters......

                  Mayweather would never have gotten a title at 154 in that era - or maybe a paper title at best. If he'd have had any sense he would have stayed at 140 and never moved up to 147.
                  Boxing this last 10 years pretty much sucks in the USA. Thankfully it is still doing well in much of the rest of the world.

                    What an ignorant statement. Probably one of the dumbest things I have ever read on this forum and that says a lot. Comparing Khan to Norris, Khan could not carry Norris's jock strap. The 2 are nothing alike. Again what a ****** comparison.
