castillo gave floyd fits in the first fight. Rough housing technology goes a long way, depending on opposition.

but unlike manny the lying politician floyd actually complained about a shoulder injury during that fight in his corner...

Can't argue with the truth you laid on me. Floyd was in pain, his shoulder was injured.

Manny is a meth head, Shabu politician and full of crap.

People booed Ployd, for saying he had a shoulder injury post Castillo 1 fight, but it was true.

PAC makes up an injury and t@rds eat it up. I want PAC to tell is legion of Pinoy T@rds to let lord Zaroku slip pipe in your girl, and they would go for it.

Terry Norris is one of the worst match ups for Floyd, his biggest problem was his chin and even if Floyd had underrated power, at 154 he wasn't a puncher at all, Norris is just an awful match for Floyd.

I'd probably need two hands naming them

LOL Me too.

Norris was a wonderful fighter in his prime and his size might've been too much for Mayweather to overcome but I suspect Floyd was cerebral enough to find a way to counter his footwork and combinations.

Interesting to see some of the posts in this thread. If Norris was active today he'd be hated by most on these boards as a weak-chinned cheater who never moved up and called out junior welters.

You are 100 percent correct. It's the same type of thing when a lot of people here pretend that they love Pernell Whitaker when it's convenient for their agenda.

Lol yup. The ones who forget how hated Roy Jones and even Hopkins was by the media in their prime.

It's hard to compare fighters from different eras because boxing has changed so much.
Norris had 56 fights in 12 years.
Mayweather had 49 fights in 18 years.
Norris fought Leonard, Mugabi, Jackson, Curry Simon Brown, Meldrick Taylor and other outstanding fighters. Unfortunately for Mayweather there just wasn't that level of talent around for him to fight.
Terry was a great fighter in a great era and he has a point. I don't think FM goes undefeated in that era, but we'll never know.

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

My point exactly, easier said than done.

Era's is what makes boxing what it is. That's why I feel fighters are the best of their era with the exception of Sugar Ray Robinson and maybe Ali. Because of different timeframes, types of fighters and how training is done today compared to years past, it hard to say who would beat who. I will say this much, take all the great fighters from all the different era's and have them fight and none of them come out undefeated.
