It bothers me how Norris' career was moved. After he beat Leonard, the world was his oyster. He should have been moved into some big fights. Instead, they put him through a never-ending series of crap fights, which actually took a toll on Terry.
It totally backfired. Terry ended up taking losses anyway. It woulda been better if he tried his hand with Jackson in a rematch or another big name at 160, rather than end up getting blasted out by the far less prestigious Simon Brown, and getting mired with all those pointless defenses at 154.
I'm sure they would do it differently if they had the chance to do it all over again. Talent-wise, he was one of the best ever. He deserved better from his management.
