Floyd Mayweather Jr. .Vs. Terry Norris

Floyd would get stopped down the stretch, or else lose a Wide Decision like Leonard did.

 

I know Mayweather doesnt get much luv here at 147 or above, but the man is still a boxing genius at times imo, he would be in there with a guy who was fast and a killer in this one, and would get beat imo. But Mayweather IS better than Norris i would just like to add here

 

agreed

 

Norris, and quite comfortably.

 

Terry Norris by Wide UD

 

I see a lot of people siding with the inconsistant and chinny "Terrible Terry".

So, I'll take the minority and go with Floyd Mayweather jr. Here's why:

Floyd Mayweather, while not as strong as Norris, would have a considerable advantage as far as technique and defense. Norris would be stalking Mayweather, looking for a KO, and Mayweather would tag him with check-hooks, right hands, and clinching in between. Norris may score a knockdown at some point (mid-rounds, maybe?), but Mayweather, at his very best, would be able to return fire, stay smart, and take home an eventful decision.

Remember: you have to take the two boxers at their very best in these ATG matches. And Mayweather, at his very best, would win a decision over Norris.

 

Mayweather, at his very best, was nowhere near 154 pounds. Given his level of difficulty with an aging Oscar at 154, I'd say without question that a prime Norris would give Floyd hell and beat him up pretty good en route to a Wide UD, if not late stoppage. Floyd is nowhere near his best at this weight.

 

Well, best at the respective weight they would be competing at.:hey

And, looking back at Norris resume, he sure was DQ'ed quite a bit for a world class boxer ... maybe Mayweather frusterates him early, goades him into hitting after the bell or behind the head? Or hitting Mayweather while he is down? I mean, it's possible. I'm surprised to see how many DQ losses he has.

 

And you think someone with one close win at the weight over an aged boxer would be better than one of the top 5 of all time at the weight, and the naturally bigger fighter?

 

Not really, I can't even convince myself.

I tried, though, give me credit.:bbb

Yup, at the end of the day, Norris was a bigger, stronger fighter with exceptional handspeed (faster than Floyd at this weight, IMO), much more experienced at this weight, and a solid puncher at that. Mayweather would find little sucess early, and Norris would track him down, beat him at near everything, and after a good, grueling fight (mostly grueling for Floyd), Norris would stop him, IMO, later, around the eighth round. If Mayweather solely wants to survive, or is hungry enough, he may last a little later, but I don't think he goes the distance, he just has not fought enough guys at 154 to make a case for that, even with Oscar he was troubled.

 

:good

A fair breakdown.

 

I say Terry Norris by UD..possible late ko.

 

terry destroys him...to much of everything ...too pmuch power too much speed to much every thing

 

I was going to say something among those lines...
