Ike Quartey vs Terry Norris

Well he only wanted Chavez cause of the altercation they had and he wanted to fight Whitaker just to get back in the p4p top 3 like he was before the Brown loss and the Taylor fight was a money fight for him and he fought him essentially at welterweight. Again Taylor was the only undersized fighter he fought and even Terry knew he was too small for middleweight and too muscular to fight at welterweight against a big welterweight. That's the reason he pretty much fought his whole career at 154. If your gonna call Terry a bully for fighting one real undersized fighter in Taylor than we need to apply that same title on Carlos Monzon cause he fought Jose Napoles who was very undersized against him and Monzon didn't compesate Napoles with a catch-weight like Terry did Taylor.

 

Vasquez would've gotten schooled by Norris, the only people who even big up Vasquez like he is anything special in historic terms is Pernell Whitaker dick suckers such as yourself.

 

Norris would have beat Vasquez but not Quartey or Whitaker (especially Pete)

 

McCallum would have seriously hurt Norris... He was a tough very well schooled boxer puncher. Norris would have wanted no part of him. Beating Quartey is one thing, McCallum is a whole other level...

 

Thanks, I am here to stay, someone has to keep Rooster in check !

 

Bringing up Monzon/Napoles is a weak attempt at hoodwinking. Norris was a seriel offender, he always called out those smaller guys. The guy fought five former welterweights and most of them were washed up. Not only did he call out Chavez and Whitaker but he was also waiting for Trinidad and De La Hoya, this wasn't just money he knew what was up when Brown clocked him and Julian sent him into ambien land. His team definitely kept him away from bigger guys.

You suggest he wanted Whitaker for legacy, but why then didn't he ask for a Jackson rematch when Jackson was also with Don King? Why didn't he move up himself and challenge the numerious big name middleweights when he was ruling at 154? that would've gave him a greater legacy if he'd fought or beat any of them. It's easy to clown and bully the Joe Gatti's and Paul Vaden's, look how Terry acted when he knew he had a big advantage over someone.

On Taylor- how wonderfull of Terry to throw a shot Meldrick who looked horrible against Garcia and Glen Brown a catchweight bone.

 

He called them out but didn't fight them and he only fought one real undersized fighter and he was willing to meet the undersized fighters at a catch-weight, and you could mention how certain fighters he fought were past prime but he was still the betting underdog going into the Leonard fight and was he not suppose to fight Leonard?....Which was a good payday for him I would imagine at that time. And Tito and Oscar were his size overall anyway so what's the big deal?.....They would both eventually go on to have good runs at 154 during the early 2000's and plus the public and boxing media wanted to see him fight those two, especially Trinidad. But the early/mid 90's middleweight were too big for him and if they would have fought him they wouldn't have compensated him with a catch-weight, keep in mind Terry for many of his title fights came to weigh ins at 151 pounds on plenty of occasions so even 154 wasn't his natural weight but unfortunately for him neither was the welterweight limit, the 151 mark was his best weight for whatever reason.

I'm not gonna go in a circular debate with you cause neither of our opinions are gonna change but do you have the same feelings towards Hopkins?

 

Quartey would expose Norris. Forget the version that lost a close one to Vargas after a long layoff. The version that gave DLH would whip Norris' ass.
