    you see the problem is now that he has described what being shot means he can't think of how to twist it around for Norris beating Leonard thats why he has'nt answered me

    And just because Terry was performing well before his fight with Mullings doesn't mean he wasn't completely shot when he did fight fight Mullings, just look at who Terry lost to in his next two fights. It got to the point that the Nevada State Athletic Commission had to revoke Terry boxing license because his speech had become extremely slurred.


    No Sugar still had his skills but Terry superiority made it look non existent.

    Yes it does.


    Which would mean he was shot after Mullings knocked him out, not before.


    No, they looked non-existent because they WERE non-existent. A fighter's skills are still visible even if he's getting outfought.

    what do you mean "he had no legs"?

    he had his legs for Duran. His legs were in such great shape the crowd booed him remember?

    How do you go back to back and fighting the perfect fight - a shutout to being shot and having no legs, especially when Duran didnt touch him the whole night?


    stop making up this #%@$ bull****!. You esbers have a long way to go!

    Like Benny said, Ray was inferior. the problem is people like you and pea brain cant admit to it

    Benny was 100% correct in what he said. Ray was inferior and would always come off second best. It's a matter of reflexes and between two speedsters, the faster man prevails

    Ask any expert and they will tell you that the man that gets off first, consistently, will take over and dictate.

    Look at Roy Jones in the years he was on top and youll see this is true. Roy was always the one getting in first

    Everyone was afraid to engage him because they were afraid of getting caught by the retaliation they couldnt see, so they backed off. Like Ray Leonard in the Norris fight, he backed away. he couldnt handle the speed of Norris. He wasnt used to it.

    Same thing happened between Camacho and Davis-two boxers. The man that got in first dominated. Like leonard, Davis didnt know what to do when the target was on the move. Howard Davis and Ray Leonard cannot counter someone who is overall faster than themselves

    and ESBers cannot comprehend this simple fact. After reading this, they still wont understand it

    They'll just go back to their usual babble "Ray leonard faced Benitez, Duran, Hearns, Hagler. he beat then all!" :nut

    Leonard's careful selection of opponents should have tipped you off

    that's the problem Leonard had with Norris.

    You think TNT Norris is going to let Ray just "study" him so he can look for the right opening?

    Terry's going to be in his face backing him up, hitting him so fast that he has to back up just to see what the hell he's doing to him. If they face each other 10 times, Ray STILL wont be able to handle him. Norris is way to steep on the learning curve for Ray to handle, even if you gave him 15 rounds

    Because Duran was 38 years old and more shot than Leonard and was just following him around the ring.

    Man you talk so much **** and your worshipping of Norris is so bad that even Norris would say that you chat ****.
