    Mosley. We're talking about one of the premier chins of the past few decades as opposed to a **** poor one.

    Norris by easy UD. Shane is up against a bigger, faster guy.

    You're forgetting who has more power and speed, especially at 154.

    Terrible Terry knocks his ass out. Yes, I do believe he can do it, he's faster than Forrest and arguably a harder hitter. Doesn't help that Mosley's at his worst at this weight.

    After seeing former FAV of mine WW Simon Brown K.O. Terry Norris.
    I'd defo give Mosley the opportunity to do the same.

    If Terry slugs it out, He might go to sleep.
    That said, Norris is the goods...

    norris had the sort of chin that could go with one shot so i would say sugar shane wins by mid round tko after norris had the best of the early rounds

    Mosely as soon as he gets to the chin. But it wouldn't be easy.

    Shane had the better chin and a superior defense

    My gut feeling is Norris by pts...........however, Shane was also pretty fast at 154 and MIGHT land a bomb.....but at JMW I heavily favour Norris

    Shane never really impressed me that much at 154...not compared to his 135 or 147 form.

    He was still quick, he was still pretty strong and he could still hit...but overall everything lost a step. And most importantly for a while there after Forrest he turned into a more cautious one punch at a time fighter instead of the ferocious combo punching monster he was before.

    His power boxing style generally requires him to have some kind of physical advantage over his foe..And I cant see really what he has got over Norris apart from chin.

    Id say Terry gets this on points 6-7 times out of 10.

    Simular to to Meldrick Taylor. A good lighter weight fighter going a little too high against a powerful upper weight, powerful, fast fighter. Norris TKO in nine.

    He's certainly better than him.

    Terrible Terry is underrated a lot on these boards. Shane Mosley, at 154, never showed if he could beat somebody of Norris' caliber. No contest against Marquez, disputed win over De la Hoya, two losses against Wright, two wins against a faded Vargas, and a win over Mayorga doesn't impress me that much.

    Mosley at 135 and 147 is an excellent fighter though, no question.
