    Norris had Parkinsonism which is similar but a bit different i believe.

    Awful thing happening to a fighter and you use it to further your agenda. In my opinion very pathetic.

    the 1982 and before Leonard would knock out Norris. In about 6 or 7 rounds.

    It's hard to calculate how much free time a guy with this degree of childishness must have to accumulate 13,000 posts .. Rooster is the Charlie Zelenoff of this board ..

    it's about the speed

    and you have to figure that if it took Sugar Ray 11 rounds just for Larry Bonds (the public expects better), he would never catch up to Norris, and would most likely be hanging on at the end from Terry's frequent counters

    Simply put, everything Leonard does, Norris does faster

    Ray had problems with the Lalondy jab.. Do you think a solid jabber like Hoya could cause Ray issues and possibly run away with a decision on the cards?

    yes but Donny was a bigger man with height and reach. Oscar would have given him problems in other ways with his combinations and could be dangerous (as Camacho & Chavez found out)

    Ray would HAVE to box and move

    If Ray tried to press the fight, Oscar could get Ray in trouble as a wary Ray hangs back out of caution, but no way Oscar outclasses him the way Norris did

    ...and I am fairly confident a forensic analysis would show the vast majority include Terry Norris and a healthy amount regarding Norris v. Leonard.

    I rarely see him post on anything unrelated to both or one or the other.
