Thread: Terry Norris:how highly do you rate him and how would he fare v todays 147/154?

I really like Norris but I want you guys to tell me,what did you think of him and how do you think he would fare v the top 147/154 of this generation>? And his trilogy with Edgar Santana I think his name was,was the most bizarre trilogy I've ever seen.

Great fighter very skilled very exciting to watch bit chinny and loses his cool very easily but today he would do pretty good would be top 3 easily.

How would he fare v Floyd at 147? And Oscar at 154?

He would lose to Floyd but Norris would make it tough and Oscar vs Norris umm thats toughie both have great left hooks i think Norris might be able to pull out sd.

I think Terry was one of the best Jr Middleweights ever, always came to fight win lose or draw. very exciting style, and physically strong. He would turn almost sideways when punching to get maximum leverage. I liked him a great deal . I think he would fit nicely into any boxing era .

Terry would spark Mayweather IMO. He was so strong. Norris could flat out crack .. Mayweather punching off his heels would be no threat. also Terry could box very well , so even going the distance I think Norris wins on effect aggression. .

I would also favor Norris to beat Oscar by KO , however Oscar can punch and always has a chance .

Terry was right on his peak at 24 years of age. vs. Sugar Ray Leonard.

CC LG,I agree. If he wasn't chinny,man he would be the perfect fighter. Would love love to have seen him v tito at at some point! Any predictions?

I agree with this but he would also need better head on his shoulders aswell to be perfect fighter remember his dq losses and i think Tito would ko Norris because i don't think he would dance for 12 rounds because he loves to fight it out i think Tito would hit the deck early but he would ko Norris round about 7.

LMAO,yep,for some reason,he would lose the plot! Anyone know why? Drugs?

Oscar's a sure hall of famer but that's due to what he accomplished at lower weights. He's not even close to being considered one of the greatest 154 lb fighters in history. Norris is. He'd devastate Oscar and Floyd at super welterweight. However he spent nearly his entire career their and I don't think he'd be effective fighting anyone at 147.

Awesome fighter to watch, about everything except for the chin and sometimes he'd have some defensive lapses, but offensively he was great.

Couldn't think of a more intriguing fight than Norris-Mayweather.
