    Terry Norris wasn't a big 154 pounder anyway to be fair. He said a few times that he could make 147 if he wanted to.

    I usually agree wtih your posts, but have to disagree with the highlighted. Castillo, De La Hoya, Mosley & Ortiz are probaly stronger pound 4 pound than Norris was in his prime. I am prety sure Baldimor was as well but he didn't have the footwork or speed the others had to use it effectively.

    That being said, "Terrible" Terry was a beast!

    No your right, I guess you could say Mosley was as strong, I overlooked him.

    Castillo & Dela Hoya I would question though. Dela Hoya wasn't a physical type of fighter imo.

    Terry Norris possessed one of the finest pure offensive arsenals I've ever seen in a fighter. Blistering hand speed/combinations with put your lights out power. One of my favorites.

    He'd give Floyd problems H2H IMO but I think Floyd's precision would find his chin eventually after some tough rounds.

    blargh blargh blargh. Here's a theory: Floyd is tough and focused but not physically strong at all. He's hundreds of times better than Mosley but honestly, Mosley is way stronger than both Floyd and Pac. The Pac/Floyd fight will not involve strength but rather precision and timing and who can hit whom. Floyd's strength is irrelevant in that fight. I think Pac is stronger than Floyd - but it doesn't really matter if Floyd controls the range, which he may or may not be able to do facing that unorthodox awkwardness. Very flawed analysis from Terry.

    Really? I've seen just as many trainers / fighters pic pacquiao to win. Let me guess, their opinion dosen't matter right?

    There's nothing clear to suggest that Floyd is pacquiao's 'kryptonite.' There are certain attributes he has that could make it a hard fight, but you could say the same thing vice versa. I like a prime Marquez or Morales to beat Pacquiao more then Floyd. I wouldn't feel safe betting on Floyd in this fight. I don't have a lot of faith in his chin, which you'll need agaisnt Pac, and I don't like how cautious he fights and rarely ever throwing combinations. He also plants his feet a lot and never moves laterally, which will get him in trouble.

    Emanuel Sterward during Pac/DLH fight after being asked of a Magarito Pac fight: Don't be serious. Margarito's too big

    Most current/ former boxers and experts in 2008:
    DLH, Hatton and Cotto beat Pac

    vs

    PacDbest, the biggest *******:
    Pac beats DLH, Hatton, and Cotto

    What actually happened:
    Pac beats DLH, Hatton, and Cotto

    Pac Dbest: Floyd will duck Pac and Pac will eventually beat him.

    What will happen? :happy:scaredas::thumbsup:nono:hi:

    Floyd thinks nobody is better than him EVER - his actions and behaviour towards a fight with Pac is just Floyd trying to exert control and to play with Arum and manny's heads . Dont get it twisted - Floyd is one crafty and conniving git .
