    I agree SRL is over rated, especially by the casual fans,

    that doesn't change the fact that I have no doubt if the Ring did a current poll of who would win between SRL in his prime and Norris in his prime it would no doubt be SRL at least by a small majority if not more, you disagree?

    Plus I like Norris, I always have, fast as shyte :bbb

    Like I said from the very start, I don't claim Norris would have no chance of winning prime for prime, he has the ability to win no doubt, I just think prime for prime SRL was a little bit better even being the smaller lighter guy overall that didn't have much success at 154. So I would give him the slight edge prime for prime.

    So I have no problem with you believing Norris would beat SRL prime for prime, its totally possible, I just have a problem with you claiming that its a fact and anyone who disagrees with you is a idiot :p

    lumping all people's into groups like that is for ignorant hateful dudes that are hiding and denying a hatred inside of them that controls them not vice versa :bbb

    when less becomes more

    There it is little man, the score :deal

    Norris 120

    srl 106

    SRl, just one in a long line of successful defenses

    Wonder how many Leonard made at the same weight

    (hint: zero)

    Red.

    Learn when NOT to over egg the pudding. Keep it brief, and relative. For instance when the pervert says, " anyone who can beat Duran, Hearns, and Hagler in his prime " blah, blah, blah. Just ask the simple question, were they in there primes, and fighting at their optimum weights?

    Similarly don't feed the trolls with unnecessary ammunition, by claiming false scorecards like Norris 120 - 106 over Leonard. They will latch onto this mistake like lung cancer latching on to a heavy smoker, because that is all they have. Far better to post the official scorecards which were 120 - 104, 119 - 103, and the cheat Billy Costello's 116 - 110.

    That is a combined deficit of 38 points. Based on the fact that 3 x 13 is 39, it is far better for you to claim that Leonard lost on an " average " score of 120 - 107 on all 3 cards, but a DEFINITE 120 - 108, which is indeed a total shutout in a 12 round fight..;)

    As if Norris never did drugs or put his hands on a woman. FTFO

    Besides, SRL had the right to be paranoid. He had money and popularity, breeds jealousy with others who want what he has.

    Red / Foxy has some valid points about Leonard's career which is a little bit smoke and mirrors.
    The question is who wins prime for prime and it's not outrageous to pick Leonard over Norris, they (he?) seem unable to handle this alternative view to their (his?) own.
    Red would certainly do his cause more good by not repeatedly referring to Norris as "Terry".
