    Leonard was shot against Camacho.
    Norris was shot after the Mullings fight.

    Fighters age differently and Norris declined pretty fast - shot at 31.

    Leonard aged a bit better, probably because of better punch resistance throughout his career. Norris seemed questionable neurologically with his inability to absorb punishment.

    Leonard was faded by the time he fought Norris and completely gone by the time he fought Camacho.

    Still, obviously career wise Leonard>Norris, by a long shot.

    Rooster is very biased - no experts think Camacho/Leonard mattered in the big picture of analyzing the careers of Leonard and Camacho.

    The fight was a PPV scam to use two names and nostalga to make $$ from gullible/nostalgic fans and mainstream know nothings.

    Same with Camacho/Duran I and II and Pazienza/Duran.

    Any objective boxing expert can clearly see this. (with an IQ of over 80 or 90).

    Hating SRL is one thing, but to hold Terry Norris up as the shining saviour, the great revelation, is what make rooster's position so bizarre.

    There is no comparison

    Norris was not past prime when starched by Brown
    Leonard was shot when kod by Camacho.

    but wasnt Hector shot as well considering his reduction in standing 10 years previous?

    Since that WAS the case, this simply means Leonard was knocked out by another shot fighter (a blown up featherweight)

    given this information, and the fact that Hector was several sizes smaller, it more than evens out

    and so it's no surprise that Leonard wasnt able to stand up under the swift kick of Terry's left hook N right hand
