    Default If you could be any boxer, which boxing style would you have?

    Mines would be Terry Norris.

    The speed, combinations, power, footwork and all round confidence/cockiness.

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Roy Jones.

    Looks flashy..and the flying hooks, flying uppercuts and triple hooks are out of a cartoon..in his prime he had no defense because his speed and reflexes were so unique they were his defense.

    I forgot about him.

    Marvin Hagler. Great boxing skills backed up by murderous punching power, great stamina/endurance, cast iron chin, and a legit mean streak. Evander Holyfield, Mike McAllum, BHop, and James Toney are all right there also.

    I wouldn't want to have to depend on my chin to get me through, so although Hagler is a definite ATG, no Hagler for me. I'd go with Jones Jr., or a SRL, although Norris is a fabulous choice as well. Leonard is close to a TBE for me... so probably him. He fought the best and beat the best. He only got KO'd when he kept fighting beyond his years, as many have done. He was the consummate boxer, but could summon the power when needed. He also retired with all his faculties.

    Leonard and Roy are great picks, and as usual Master makes a solid and for me the most interesting pick with Terry Norris. When I competed I was never blessed with the athleticism of those types of fighters, so I’ve always gravitated to the guys who had to make their way on toughness and work ethic. That being said, I love the beauty of, and am at times slightly jealous of, the things guys like Roy, Ray, and Terry can/could do in the ring.

    Terry Norris is fascinating to me, because he was such a great boxer but at the same time was vulnerable due to his chin and fighters mentality. Much like Tommy Hearns, Terry was so damn fast and good that he could box circles around you, but the guy had a mean streak and craved the ko. He often would get himself in trouble only after he had the other guy ready to go.

    I always wished Terry had gotten the Tito, JCC, Oscar...etc. fights like he wanted. Great fighter and interesting pick.
