    Positives to Norris:

    -When he had his head on he could box and move very well
    -When he had his head on he could throw some excellent combinations
    -Big puncher

    Negatives to Norris:

    -He rarely had his head on
    -Sloppy, frenzied finisher
    -He feasted on smaller fighters, most of whom were washed up
    -Glass jaw
    -That glass jaw is what lead to him faltering against even the washed up Welters he feasted on so routinely
    -He made a living at 154 because he knew he couldn't hack it in the Middleweight division, but he had no problem calling out the 140 pound Chavez
    -He was a dick

    David Haye is on my borderline Slick fighters. He probably could get promoted though.
    Wlad is hard to hit, but .... **** I just don't feel comfortable putting him there :dead

    Gs don't make it an objective to catch shots with the face

    Really don't think that RJJ and Alexander are slick. Benitez was really hard to hit and maybe Calderon deserves a mention also. And maybe Ricardo Lopez ??

    I got Benitez and Caldron there.
    Roy was slick and Alexander is borderline.

    Yeah Wlad is hard to hit but not because he's slick. He's very tall and enploys a great jab that keep's opponents way out at distance. He does have good footwork, but I won't call slick.

    For me slick goes with more with the boxer with the sound fundamentals than with the fighters that relies heavily on his reflexes and who gets KOed by everyone once they fade.
