    Terry knocked out a washed up Curry(and not easily I may add) but could have beaten the circa 84-85 Curry?

    Maybe I shouldn't answer this. I have Terry Norris about 74-0 in mythical matchups.

    If they never met and you did an MM with Jackson maybe I'd have him at 73-1.

    Or maybe not....

    Norris won the first round handily in that fight, so maybe i would say that continues for 12 rounds to Norris' UD lol.

    they are sniffing glue....they are supose to be you I.E. you sniff too much glue.

    isnt he witty:good


    i would go with norris, possibly fastert hands hits harder and better combinations. for me curry got hit alot if his opponant was an aggresive fighter.

    becuase norris can brawl and box in equal messure i think he can really turn the fight to his favour.


    the actual fight might of been a softend don, but curry basicly sunk onto norris and went inside. somthign that norris even tho he was good at took some while until he turned the figth around.

    Umm... no. Jackson caught Norris because he cut off the ring on him, then landed. Jackson had underrated handspeed, it wasnt easy to outbox him. Julian would have iced Norris everytime, why dont you think Terry ever pursued a rematch?

    I dont see how you can go by thier actual fight at all. The Curry that Norris beat was a SHADOW of the fighter that beat Starling, and McCrory. He had lost all his reflexes, and had lost all his speed, and snap. Yet he STILL had his moments, and buzzed Norris once or twice.

    Not to sound like a Norris hater, cause I'm definitely not... but the Curry of the McCrory fight would knock out Norris in my mind.

    Uhhh maybe because he was 22 years old and didn't need to jeopardize his record and rise in boxing by fighting the P4P hardest puncher in the division again?

    I was at this fight and even though Curry was well passed it I was hoping he would pull it out. I met Donald after the fight as well as Ray Mancini as he was ringside and both were very friendly and approachable. I think an 85 Curry would have been able to get to Terry and stop him mid to late round.
