Boy Rooster, to think that at one point and time, people actually gave you the courtesy of making the effort to kick your ass by refuting your lengthy posts with just a few sentences. I am going to do it again now, but the one difference, is that I'm only going to respond to this single comment: And here is my response
let's just settle for a tko. leonard was not that big hitter. jackson , brown , mullings , boudouani - all flukes. derrick kelly , joe walker , louis snatana X 2 , dana rosenblatt - all incorrect decisions over a pre-peak or post-peak norris. norris was flawless. chinny is a delicate word for him. by the same age he retired - 31 julian jackson who's regarded chin challenged had only 1 stoppage loss , also his only loss. but somehow norris comes close and even sometimes passes jackson in comparisons/lists. and norris even didn't go beyond 154.
i also forgot to mention that benn , hearns , roy jones also had a much better chin than norris. not just jackson. norris had one of the worst chins ever for a such a touted titlist. was he a linear champion ? i've got an answer to that thread !
Some of the posts on here are so bad I've been laughing out loud. Norris gets tapped in 3 rounds by prime Leonard.
If you believe Leonard beats Norris that's fine by me but he aint doing it in 3 rounds, for goodness sakes Leonard needed 9 or 10 rounds to put away the very limited, shaky chinned Ayub Kalule who's at least 4 levels below Terry Norris.
Let's NOT compare who Ray beat and who Norris lost too. Please, for your sake. ...It becomes astonishingly hilarious though Benny when you try and put stock in Norris beating Ray.
I was impressed with Andy Price prior to the SRL fight, it was one of Leonards best performances along with the wipe out of Dave"Boy"Green...he showed,speed,power and killer instinct
So Norris two signature losses came against Julian Jackson and Simon Brown, both who are much better than Ayub Kalule. And yes I do put stock into Norris beating Leonard. Norris was the underdog in that fight and he dominated Ray like nothing.
This would be an excellent fight with Norris suprisingly fighting Ray on even terms in the beginning. After a few fast paced rounds Norris gets dropped and is saved by the bell at the end of the 4th. Norris recovers and is fighting competetive again but after being staggered at the end of the 7th is saved by the bell again. Leonard ends matters by 8th round ko.
