    Didn't realise how hyped the fight was at the time.

    Thanks for posting.

    I wonder how a fight between Norris and Aaron Davis would turn out. Sure Taylor beat Davis comfortable but Davis was incredibly durable, very hungry, and a suffocating pressure fighter with good power. I'm not saying he beats Norris but I think its a more challenging style match up for Norris that Meldrick was.

    what does he mean Norris had no one to prove himself against? Does the name Sugar Ray Leonard ring a bell?

    this made me watch the fight, pre fight was great fight had a great opening rounds some fireworks from both men and norris eventually just punched him out

    taylor got too confident after his explosive 1st round start shoulda used his legs more

    Not only was it hyped, but a number of people actually thought Taylor had a good shot of taking it, if he could get through the early rounds.

    I had a feeling Taylor would get crushed and i was correct.

    This wasn't Taylor's last big fight, but it was the end of him being a premier fighter.

    It also has one of my favorite Foreman and Letterman back and forth at around 2:44 into this video:
