Terry Norris is all wrong for mayweather. Bigger, stronger, busier, just as fast as Mayweather (Possibly faster, at least in combination), and a MUCH bigger puncher. Mayweather isn't a hard enough puncher to hurt Norris, so Terry would not be discouraged from executing his gameplan. When Norris was on his game, he was a fantastic fighter. If Terry catches Floyd perfectly, he could lay him out. But, I will give Floyd the benefit of the doubt that his defense would see him make the final bell. But the decision would be in Norris' favor, and it would likely be pretty one sided. (9-3, or 8-4 at best)
Floyd, defensive abilities would make him a nightmare for any fighter at 154. You have to hit Floyd and Floyd has a great chin. Floyd, would stick and move and frustrate Norris all night to a close UD.
Norris is all wrong for Floyd, he's 1 of the few that can penetrate Floyd's defense with his quicker hands, lightening fast combinations, feints, workrate, much better puncher and much more power. Norris has better reactions and defense than any of Floyd's opposition when he chooses to use them. Floyd would struggle to get his respect, would struggle to land first, would be outgunned and be soundly beat.
mayweather is the kind of smaller, light hitting big name fighter Norris would have chopped the end of his **** off for a chance of fighting. Typical Terry opponent and a comfortable, fairly dominant win for him.Norris walks through him, outspeeds him and fires combinations with near impunity.Floyd hangs tough and has the odd moment, but is eventually stopped or widely outpointed.
Majority rules here so far. Norris bigger, stronger, and faster. Floyd has great defense but wouldn't make a dent. Terry by comfortable decision.
Im really trying to figure out where you see this great chin or this great sticking and moving from Floyd at 154 he hasnt really been a dancer since he was at 140, which is part of the reason he adopted the peakAboo style with substantially less work rate. Have you seen Norris fight he was a absolute beast at 154 he would have beat Floyd up badly very bad match up for pretty boy fraud....lol
I agree with you all on this one. Terry Norris, who had great results when fighting guys who were a tad smaller than he,is all wrong PBF... Too much speed,power and aggressiveness. And that nice left uppercut off his jab would sneak through the `infamous` shoulder roll defense... I actually think he might stop Floyd late,prime Terry could crack. PBF is zero threat to Norris shaky chin, he can`t crack hard enough to gain Terry`s respect...
Agreed I dont think Norris ever fought a guy at the championship level as featherfisted as Floyd, Norris is similar to Hearns a underrated chin that took a guy that hit like a mule to get to him all while taking career altering beatings to get the job done, Floyd doesn't have the workrate, power, courage or warrior mentality that Julian Jackson did to hang with Norris...no version of Floyd could have done to Leonard what Norris did to him...
Is this floyds best weight division? Remeber how terry ripped meldrick apart in 4 rounds? And chavez would never accept his challenge!!
