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.
