Not good for Floyd. Norris by a unanimous decision, at 154 Floyd doesn't have the same type of movement or speed he had at 140 and below, nor does he have the punch to keep Norris honest.
Yes Floyd has a chance. Norris could tend to be dictated too a bit, and Floyd is excellent at controlling the pace of a fight.
I find the 154lb match ups with Mayweather a bit silly, given hes only had 1 fight there and even at 147 hes past his prime weights. Maybe in 2 years or so he'll have a few fights there and we can make a better judgement.
Nope, not at all, not even at a catch weight of 149 pounds in which is what Terry showed up at against Meldrick Taylor does Floyd have a chance.
The only time I seen where Terry couldn't dictate the pace of a fight was against Julian Jackson, and that was because Julian was charging through trying to bide his time till he can try to land on Terry and he did of course, but every other fight that Terry won he always dictated the pace of the fight from beginning to end.
even though me and benny are the seminal norris huggers. anyone could understand that norris has everything except the slickness of floyd and i dont think slickness is norris's wekaness. he was able to hustle guys out of tight guards before and also very good defencivly aswell. 1st. mayweather doesnt have the mental games to get norris to trade 2nd floyd does not the one shot power to chin him so logically norris by ud if and old dela soul could get and sd then norris to a ud.
Terry at his best was a technical fighter with good power. I see this fight going all wrong for Floyd no matter how much I like both of these fighters.
Floyd is severely outmatched in this one. At 154, he would be so outsped and outclassed that simply hearing the final bell would be a victory in and of itself.
Bit to early to tell on this one as it is only this weekend that we are going to see him in with a live opponent at 147lbs. My initial reaction is that because Norris can keep up with Floyds footspeed and has a good jab. He would dictate the pace of the fight for long spells and get the UD. But there are to many if's and but's with Floyd hopefully the Mosley fight will answer a few questions.
