    People need to quit telling other people they don't know shit about boxing. After all we are all savants on our keyboards and its by sheer bad luck and birth date and place that we were and are not in the corners or training camps of the greats.

    Having said that, some people who make or have made a living in the sport are as inept at times as we are.

    Terry Norris fought in a completely different era then this one and yet to me at 55 it feels like just yesterday. The idea of "risk and reward" then compared to now diametrically oppose each other philosophically.

    Even with that, the whole idea of the sport is based around the maxim of hitting and not getting hit. Saying Floyd runs and slaps is simply a stupid, ignorant boxing observation. It makes little difference to me who said it. If everyone fought like Norris albeit showing pugilistic brilliance at times we would not even need a ring. We could use a throw rug.

    Norris did use the ring, his footwork was beautiful and his combination punching were fantastic to see.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    He was alright and showed signs but he was born a puncher and its still a piss poor observation on Floyd regardless.
