I'm of course with you here, Selfkill, but isn't this discussion really being taken too far? Rooster is the only one here who even in his wildest dreams would put Norris ahead of Leonard. Let's just leave it at that.
Norris. Terry was 3-1 underdog and turned leonard's head and stomach into mush. That makes him the better fighter. But if you can have everyone here go along with you to help make you feel better, I'm all for it. And remember, Terry is the greatest 154 pounder of all time. :smoke
I think Jackson was probably better. Just watch this KO. But to be honest, the guy he was facing had a glass chin. [YT]M_Id6-oOY1U[/YT]
I won't lie. Julian was a monster and he KNEW how to put pressure on. I had been an avid follower of JJ's since the Buster Drayton fight until the fight with Herol Graham in 1990. A truly amazing fighter. For Terry, don't shed tears for him-history making accomplishments were right around the corner. His career resurrected with the Mugabi fight.
Leonard by a country mile. No contest... Mcallum,hearns and many others head to head are better than norris at 154.....
No contest - The man who is leading on the votes is the same man who is the much better p4p boxer & also is the man who WILL NOT allow Norris to catch him on the votes. The voting is only gonna get wider in Leonards favour, as it should do. Only suprise is that Norris has 2 votes instead of 1. Rooster must have 2 accounts. :-(
the only problem is that they were all wrong. Only winners get bragging rights. Losers sit on the mourners bench.
I think that is the point. You are clearly following your heart rather than your head. You think because Norris beat a shot Leonard, he is therefore better and a more impressive career. You think because Ray was the favourite going in meant that he couldn't have been shot. You think because a critic praised Ray on beating a 38 year old Duran before the Norris fight meant that Ray wasn't shot. I'd give you some credit if you're arguement is credible, but you're love affair with Norris is fueled by your hatred for Leonard and nothing else. That is testament to how greater fighter Leonard was and how insuprior Norris turned out to be.
