    M2S is the perfect antidote to Classic fanboys.

    I dont see what the problem is. based on 7/10 categories Terry deserves it. and besides, no one really ranks Tommy that high anyways

    No, I'm right. The problems is you just wont admit it. Terry was very adaptable which is why he's got all those defenses and wins over Mugabi, Leonard, Curry, Taylor, Brown. and when he wins notice that he doesnt struggle? Norris wins his fights easily. Tommy was versatile himself, just not in the same class as Norris

    actually, I dont have to. Ray was tamed early by Norris'

    . Tho Ray took Tommy's best shots in both fights admirably and allowed for two late round rallies, the same couldnt be said in his lone fight with Norris. Whether it be footwork, hand speed, fighting smarts, split second timing, power, TN excelled in every phase of the game. Terry had it all!

    for one thing, Norris wasnt built like a 147 pound freak walking on pipe stem legs. Norris, like Loenard, seemed to be just the right height for his weight

    Then you didn't read my post, where you were shown clearly several times over what the problem is.

    Your buddies STEVE FARHOOD and TIM RYAN do. :nono

    Oops.

    Duh, his career. :roll:

    You mean the Cuevas YOU claim would've walked through Norris' punches and KO'd him? :lol:

    No, you're not. And you were clearly SHOWN why you're not.

    No, the problem is you haven't shown me anything to "admit" to.

    Which is inferior to Hearns' collection of wins and record-making number of titles.

    You mean like he "didn't struggle" against Troy Waters? :lol:

    Yes you do.

    So then you're just assuming that Norris had better balance, without actually knowing it.

    So 5'10" is the "right height" for 147, but an inch shorter is the "right height" for 7 pounds upward? :nut

    Duh, His career what? Cuevas and Duran are 147 at best. Obvious you didnt think this one thru. Are you tired? maybe you should get some rest

    Wrong again. Norris without even having reached his peak UPSET Ray Leonard, a truly superb fighter and one of the 50 best ever, in just his forth year as a pro. Ray also outpunched Mugabi a huge puncher and a bigger man, which you said he couldnt do. Why dont you just quit no M2S and save yourself futher embarassment

    easy, Cuevas was at a huge height disadvantage (same as Duran). Duh! :lol:


    Terry is more the height that the superb Ray Leonard was (Ray Leonard defeated hearns in 81)
