    I might sound crazy, but I favour Antonio to win this fight by knockout around 10th or 11th.

    I don't think so

    Like Terry says "once my opponent goes flatfooted, he has no chance"

    He was amazingly accurate with his predictions

    I like Terry and his superior speed to win this one. Norris was a bit chiny but Tony was not a one punch kind of guy. He was more of a beat you down and stop you dude and I just don't see him getting it down against Norris and his way superior speed.

    If Norris fought smart than he'd win, but if he engage in a slugfest he will without a doubt lose the fight. Margarito maybe stationary but don't forget his enormous stamina and punch output. Dude's an ongoing machine who wouldn't back down no matter how hard you punch. Norris power could get overrated sometimes has he couldn't knock Troy Waters out (even admitting he had the best chin). I'm willing to bet that Terry's punches are just love taps for Margarito.

    Terry would TEAR up Antonio and very badly.
    And yes he would stop Antonio.

    I always loved watching Antonio Margarito fight. Guy had brass balls. But, absent one of his occasional lapses of judgment, Norris dominates Margarito. If Margarito thought Manny could hit hard, wait until he gets hit by a prime Norris. Terry was extremely fast of both hand and foot, and, had excellent power. Norris would make him miss, and, make him pay. Did Margarito have a single knockout win over a decent fighter above 147? And, the truth of the matter is that if Antonio can't steamroll you, he is not that hard to outbox. Daniel Santos is nowhere near the fighter Terry Norris was, and, he did it without too much difficulty.

    If for some reason Norris forgot how to move and/or gave Marg some free whacks, then maybe. Otherwise no, this goes Terribly for the Tijuana Tornado.

    Norris would brutalize Margarito and stop him (even with his special hand wraps).

    Margarito doesn't hit like Julian Jackson, His corner better have a lot of cut meds and end swell because his face will get busted up. Norris UD.

    Easy work for Norris. He wins via lopsided UD or TKO Stoppage on cuts.

    I think Margarito would last the distance, but take a bad beating and lose a lopsided decision. I think Norris could be ground down by a tough pressure fighter, but at 154 he has the size advantage, plus being faster and more skilled, and Margarito was never hard to land on.
