"Terrible" Terry Norris vs PBF aka Money May @ 154 lbs / 11 Stone: Who wins?

HAHAH True... I remember arguing with one of them that Floyd wasn't the first fighter to use the shoulder roll. I was like ummm.... Here is footage of Georgie Benton using the shoulder roll... here is footage of Joe Walcott using the shoulder roll... etc... lol

Its funny how dumb people can be. So many fighters could have fought Floyd's entire resume undefeated.

People talks about how glorified are the fighters of the past, it seems like is the other way around.

Yup.

People are prisoners of the moment around here, that and they do the typical new fan mistake of totally disregarding everything that happened in boxing before THEY started watching. lmfao.

I love when cats be like "but that was a long time ago", that doesn't make those fighters any less great.

Do your F'ing homework and study tape of fighters of the past if you truly love the sport. I did. We all did.

Two of my favorite all time fighters, Marciano and Locche, were waaaaaaay before my time.

Can you imagine if I never bothered to look those two up, man, my boxing knowledge and appreciation for this sport would be much less.

Nicolino is god. He fathered a black son named Rigondeaux.

Some fighters have longevity some dont. Norris was involved in a gym war culture, and took lots of ring wear outside of fighting.

Similar to Wilfred Benitez who was done by 26... That doesn't make Benitez not an ATG. He is. El Radar was incredible just as Terry Norris was.

Just because Terry's prime window was smaller doesn't make him not an ATG...

Terry Norris is not an ATG.

Terry Norris is not an ATG.

You are free to be ignorant if you want. Im not stopping you.

He's not an ATG.

No one with any credibility would consider him one.

[soul_survivor]

He was out for 14 months. And he was indeed a 3-1 betting favorite.

Terry Norris is like Tommy Hearns in the fact that his ability to punch downplayed his boxing ability.

Hearns for all his ability to punch was never outboxed by anyone, including Leonard. You could knock him out, but you couldn't outbox him. But people just remember his punch.

Terry Norris at his peak was that kind of fighter. He just had too many physical gifts and was too well schooled to beat him any other way.

I'm not insinuating Norris was a bad fighter, I'm just saying he didn't beat a good version of Leonard. If he'd gotten in the ring with even the 87/88 version of the great man, he would've lost.

to be fair, you don't really know that.

[Larry the boss]

Mayweather..all around superior fighter

[IronDanHamza]

Ray Leonard would beat the ever loving **** out of Norris.

Completely different levels.
