    The very best of Norris would be too quick with his hands and feet for Alvarez and win about 8 or 9 of the 12 rounds. He'd not be able to KO the dodgy beef consumer though, so Alvarez on a unanimous decision.

    Physically Norris had the ability to beat the overrated spurt fighting Ginger. BUT, I can't help but think Terry makes some stupid mistake.

    Absent a lucky punch (certainly a possiblity), I think Norris takes this. Norris was much faster and more skilled than Canelo. Norris would have destroyed guys like Trout and Lara. And they both gave Canelo big problems at that weight.

    I like Alvarez by decision. Canelo is in some close fights but usually finds a way to win.

    A way involving brown envelopes and corrupt officials.

    Ray Leonard and Holyfield always "found a way to win."

    Golden Boy's judges always find a way for Canelo to win.

    Funny " norris would have destroyed Trout and Lara and they gave Canelo big problems"

    So your argument is based on your opinion about fantasy fights that never happened lol

    Norris by decision, he’s way too fast and had a lot more natural talent than canelo. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Norris finds a way to lose or get knocked out

    Norris wins easy as he is just too fast. Most likely a 12 rd shut out

    Canelo wins this. The more complete fighter hands down, can match Terry's speed(Terry a little faster but Canelo can catch him) but being physically stronger. Canelo takes a much better punch too.

    I can see Canelo catching Norris and stopping him.

    Canelo for me, he is the more rounded fighter, the better puncher, and has by far the better chin.

    Canelo who will be revered by many in the future the causal fan who has seen a few highlight reels will dribble stories of the mauweather robbery and the domination of GGG as well as his epic KO of King Krusher, someone they say Floyd and Pacman ducked... such a pity most will regard him in the league of true greats with time.
