    do you mean the prime lennard who took 11 rounds for Larry Bonds?

    Side note: why doesnt rey have any defenses in Terry's weight class?

    You mean lennard at his best never faced anyone with Terry's speed

    He had his chance with Nunn but couldnt go thru with it. Wonder how come

    Just examine their records. Amateur and Pro Norris fought mostly bums. Leonards records amateur and Pro are a who's who list of greats and ATG fighters. Norris competition does not rate with most champions let alone Leonard.

    yeah I examined their records

    Leonard's reads: UD L 12 Norris

    and Norris' reads: UD W 12 Leonard

    regarding their competition, that needs no explanation since the final score read

    Norris 120

    srl 106

    that's the beauty of referring to the scorecards; in the end, it always leaves you defenseless

    :smoke

    Leonard doesnt have enough speed for Terry and it took him 11 rds for Bonds. not good!

    Altho leonard has the ability to up his game and turn up the heat, terry also has the ability to up HIS game

    So when leonard put more pressure on, Terry's speed automatically trippled, and leonard found out the hard way, he's not in Terry's class

    That's why Terry has 10 defenses

    and Leonard has none

    any fighter that needs 11 rounds to put away Larry Bonds is by definition, mediocre or not much above it

    same difference. a minute less does not significantly tip the scales in his favor. still a mediocre pressure fighter, and still a 120-106 loser to Norris

    I LOVE punishing stupidity!

    I've pointed this out several times but to no avail. It seems he copies and pastes his answers without updating his source crib sheet with any new information provided to him.

    you'd be surprised

    which is more than I can say for your constant "less is more" propaganda as it applies to srl

    which reminds me of that amazing streak of four bouts between 1981 & 1982. Magoo calls it one of the greatest runs in boxing history

    Forgive me for laughing

    Geez, are you DUMB OR WHAT!

    Norris 120

    srl 106

    nobody gave a **** about Bonds. any self respecting champion would have put him away within 5. Leonard didnt have it when required to put it in forward drive which is why Terry beats him every time

    If it took him this long for Bonds, he'd never make it with someone with Terry's speed

    sorry to give you the bad news bro. with your lack of grey matter, next we'll be having to bring out the illustrations

    why dont you pull up youtube, enter Norris srl, and you can see what i'm talking about
