Terry Norris " Mayweather with all that slapping and running "

[p4pking]

In that era? Retired and nursing a detached retina lol. Pryor was washed up shortly after the Arguello fights in the mid 80's...

[Ron Swanson]

I'd also like to point out that judging a persons power by KOs/wins is cheating the truth to fit your needs.

Your power has the opportunity to effect your wins and your losses. All the times your power didn't have an effect should count just like all the times it did have an effect.

I mean if you're going to pick and choose why not just look at the KO fights? 31 times he got the KO 100% of the time.

[Spicoli]

There will be some more old boxers from back in whatever golden era bringing up so more stories on how they would whop floyd.

This time though it will be a few more weight classes higher and the boxer had blown all his money.

Alot of it is jealousy.
Has to be. The highest paid sports star on earth just made the next mexican sensation in a higher weight class look like an old sparring partner..

You know what back when i was around 29 years old and 210lbs i would whop floyd..yea, he would just be running and ducking with his stupid shoulder roll and his non accurate punching and ineffective check hooks..yea, he would be so easy!

Utter bollocks.

And Norris giving his earned opine is different from Mayweather popping off about Robinson or Ali how? Or a Mayweather who literally just carried a Baldo ffs and heard the boos telling Leonard to his face 'you wouldn't even be in the top 10 of my era'...an utter bullshit thing to say. Norris has absolutely nothing to be 'jealous' of in a Mayweather and give Floyd enough time of beating up bebe mamas and tax issues, he'll do well to not blow his money also. Every generation will compare to past or present, its done in all sports. As for Alvarez, I'll spot you the Mexican part...now sensation? Eh.

Come on spicoli,

Canelo was being built up as the next supastar and many people inc writers were saying that floyd was going to duck him!

Yep, i see what your saying about each era always has something to say about another era and its just banter. I understand that.

I'm with ya bruv in regards to the fight happening. It was good to see take place and props to Floyd and Alvarez going in. But truth once it was signed much of the talk was how Canelo was too green, young etc. And during Trout you saw hints of how that approach would backfire with a masterclass like Mayweather. He missed a massive chance to show the pressure and closure needed to compete with a Mayweather I think.

[Spicoli]

Not that different, both excellent smaller fighters and exceptional hand speed.

They ain't even close man, come on. Besides being black, having fast hands and boxing for a living.

You saying Terry Norris would be able to hit Mayweather like he could Meldrick Taylor? Meldrick was a fast dude who could box, but being from Philly he would just go out swinging and end up eating punches.

Zab Judah matched Mayweathers handspeed for a few. A one trick pony Mosley had him reeling. Norris was a very physical sort and a seriosuly underrated boxer when he resisted. Still ranked a "p4p" best, Taylor set out to box like the wind that night..all changed when Norris matched his renowned speed and it ended in the power. You can box all you want until a guy kicks in the front door on you.

[AdamGB]

I truly believe that Norris would have overwhelmed floyd with his furious combinations. I dont think floyd's bitch style of fighting would work on norris.. uh uh

Bitch style?
YDKSABB

Not a bitch literally like you but a safety first style I should say..

Ydksab? Lol that belongs on esb where little boys like u fit right in..

Ur boxing knowledge is extremely low adam unless u can prove me wrong.

So only people with a high amount of boxing knowledge could possibly prove you wrong? Haha... Don't flatter yourself!

Again, if you can't appreciate a technical style of boxing enough that you have to refer to it as 'bitch' then YDKSABB.
(Hope this helps)

'Literally' would suggest that I am a member of the canine species, it's not surprising to know that I am speaking to somebody that apparently thinks he is talking to a literate dog that is able to type on an iPhone, despite his lack of opposable thumbs, seeing as how you constantly show us that you are living in a fantasy world.

You do know that NOBODY here buys the contrived alpha persona, right? Most just see you as a sad little man

U sound like salty a little girl right now with your little emoticons lol.. It dont take much for you to get butt hurt huh. u need to take down your avatar cuz u look like Andruw golota on crack. U ugly man .

I stand by what I said. You dont know shit about Boxing.

[bradlee180]

where the fuck is aaron pryor?? Wtf??

Pryor?

He's way back in the early 80s, 10 years earlier than Norris' era.

Are you free-basing again?! Or maybe suffering an acid flashback?

[Beanflicker]

You can box all you want until a guy kicks in the front door on you.

Come on. Mosley landed what, 2 or 3 real good punches in the first or second round? Rocked Floyd good, then Floyd made the adjustments and shut him out for the rest of the fight. Did Zab land anything meaningful? Come on, you're grasping at straws here.

You can say Terry Norris beats Floyd at 154. I have no problem with anyone thinking that, because despite his MANY flaws, Terry was a dangerous motherfucker in there.

But don't tell me you think that because of what Terry did to a washed up MELDRICK TAYLOR. Meldrick and Mayweather are completely different animals. Completely different styles. Meldrick was slick, but not in a Mayweather kind of way.

[bradlee180]

Meldrick was slick, but not in a Mayweather kind of way.

Yeah, you're right, Meldrick was a far superior combination puncher, not a 1-off pot-shot guy like Floyd.

With the greatest of respect , if AdamGB's avatar makes him look like Andrew Golota on crack .
Then from your avatar we can deduce that you are a right tit ? ( or left tit )

[Beanflicker]

Yeah, you're right, Meldrick was a far superior combination puncher, not a 1-off pot-shot guy like Floyd.

Yeah and as a result he got hit a lot more and sounds like he has 20 pieces of Hubba Bubba in his mouth when he talks.

You gotta know when to punch and when not to punch, Meldrick obviously didn't have that knowledge.

Meldrick was a quality boxer and probably had faster hands than Floyd. Yes the big difference between them is that Floyd "runs" more than Taylor stood and took unnecessary punishment. Terry still beats Floyd.

[IamInuit]

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.

[beenKOed]

Wish I could slap and run and make the money Floyd does.
Norris is pissed because Floyd makes it look soooo easy. Come to think of it, that's what pisses me off about Floyd too.

What's a salty little girl? Sounds like something a pedophile would say... Are you really so stupid that you'd criticise 'little emoticons' and then end your own fucking post with a fucking EMOTICON?!

Sorry if my avatar upsets you, not sure I follow what you were going for with the 'Andruw' Golota thing, but well done for trying. Try again when you're not a 165lb skid mark.
