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

[Killer_of_Sheep]

Norris would certainly be Floyd's worst nightmare. I wouldn't doubt Norris would stop him (probably corner stoppage).

Norris is one of the most underrated fighters ever. Even if his chin wasn't great or he let his emotions get the best of him, he was still a beast in terms of skill, speed, athleticism and had very good, explosive power as well.

He would probably steamroll everyone at 155 right now with ease.

I loved Terry Norris. He never carried an opponent. He was the personification of a pure slugger. Back in the day he would literally try to rip every opponent's head off. He had a crowd pleasing style. His fights were always exciting and very fun to watch.

You just compared Jackson to Mayweather... Man how dumb are posters on this site?

No comparison. Apples to oranges. Norris had a weak chin anyway, so even Floydie could've dropped him. Friend, you should consider less snap judgments. It would make it easier to go thru life.

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......

ever heard of zab judah...2 weight champion

selective memory...prime judah with just 3 losses

ever heard of zab judah...2 weight champion

Essentially a mental midget though & seemed to me to have the mentality of a 6 round fighter.

Best Slick African-American fighter of FMJ's era was Bradley IMO & he was far more deserving of a fight with Floyd than Judah & in fact a great deal of FMJ's opposition.

I would have loved the Kell Brook fight too (i know he's not American but...) instead of Bloody Andre Berto to end on!

Best slick/black fighters of Floyds time were Bradley, Brook, Lara, Mosley & Forrest IMO

Just to clarify- Zab was the lineal champ and 3 belt holder when he signed to fight Floyd. He signed for Baldo after this fight was madet. I wouldn't say Bradley was more deserving.

Bradley also said he wasn't going to chase a Floyd fight and signed with TR instead of GBP.

your opinion doesnt change he was a multiple time world champion with a lot of talent

was he an all time great? no

was he world class in his era? yes

was he prime? yes

he even went on to win a major title past 30

if this exercise is just a means to discredit floyd, you're wasting your time.

Bradley isnt exactly slick.....look at his fights with Manny, Peterson, Vargas, etc.....he is athletic, has good headmovement but he isnt a speed demon nor a defensive wiz


Bradley wasnt even on the radar back in 06 when he fought Judah

you already know bradley was with Arum...fight wasnt going to happen, we were lucky to get the pacquaio fight,,,,lets not forget Mayweather didnt fight Cotto or ODLH UNTIL they all left Bob

In reality the fight was a natural. Far more deserving in retrospect than Judah. Like you say desire & politics though..

Bradley>Judah
