    Is Hopkins now hall of fame worthy as Norris should be ? Realizing of course that BHop is turtle like compared to the speed, rings savvy and peerless skills of Norris. Alos would Hopkins have stood a chance against Norris at 160 ???

    If Rooster favors Hopkins in this he probably say he'd win by DQ after Norris rendered him comatose after a vicious combination while Hopkins is down

    Bhop would wipe the floor with Norris!!

    Terry was a slick boxer but he would trouble finding the Defensive master in Hopkins.. If Terry had trouble with Troy Waters power and pretty much everyone he foughts that landed he would be outgunned by Hopkins.. Hopkins would give him a beating, the only chance for Norris would be box and move but at some point Hopkins would rough him up and take him out...

    Hopkins is a vey good fighter (some flaws) and deserves his place in the hall of fame. An overachieving blue collar type, Bernard simply had to make do with what he had.

    Could be Terry Norris was simply a better fighter becuz of his physical gifts. whatever the case, this fight marks TN's entry into superstardom with yet another brilliant victory over a name fighter

    make no mistake, Bernard would be reletless and try getting in Terry's chest but we all know Bernard wasnt a big hitter and would take reams of punishment. For eight ot so rounds, Terry is fighting at a moderate pace and reserving himself for later where he'll heap on the punishment

    after ten rounds, his face would sport enough lumps & bruises that Hop would resemble the elephant man. The swelling would hinder his sight in the later rounds when Terry would take over and dominate, cutting loose with blazing fast combos to the head. all Bernard could do is cover up and hope for a helping hand from merciful judges

    It would be close but after 12 hard fought, Norris would have his hands raised

    Winner and new middleweight champion.....!

    Dead point on Rooster ! I am so happy your educating us uneducated fans on eastside. Your boxing brilliance with regard to Norris is amazing !!! Besides we all know that Hopkins would never have the seeds to face the all time king Norris !!
