    Who is on Norris’ record except a washed SRL?

    John Mugabi, Meldrick Taylor. A couple others I forgot. I can't favor Tim over Jackson, perhaps if he dominates Crawford

    Mendoza was nowhere near Jackson`s level.

    Who the hell has Tim knocked out that was on the level of Norris?

    And he was nowhere near Tim's level either.

    Try to keep up.

    Your recall is revisionist at best. Norris CV is ok but nothing special. Vaca, washed Leonard, Brown KO'd him in 4 and then went life and death with Troy frigging Waters, Pettway...they're all second tier. Meldrick Taylor is a good win. Quicny Taylor is also a good win. Who else?

    Harrison, Mendoza and Horn are all as good as guys that gave Norris nightmares.

    He completely out-classed Brown in the rematch, Tim has never met a clever mover like Norris.

    Apparently Harrison was a clever mover. But then Tszyu destroyed him and people like you said Harrison was over the hill. Tszyu is taking on all comers whilst the guys you probably think he should be fighting are all running for the hills. Thurman is a clever mover and is about to get destroyed too. But of course, Tszyu will get no credit for that.

    I don't think you'd rate Tszyu, even if he beat Usyk, Canelo and the ghost of Muhammad Ali on the same night.

    He'd have left Norris in a coma and he'd have given Jackson a hell of a fight.

    Mmmmmmmmm idk. I think Julian loses to most elite 154 pounders. I would factor Charlo, Crawford, and Spence tbh

    Norris was a far better puncher than Harrison, his punches would have got Tim`s respect.

    Spence has nowhere near the power that Jackson had he just got stopped by a welter. Jackson would have an inch reach advantage over Spence who has benefitted from being bigger than his opponents, coming forward v Jackson would be suicide, Spence has no head movement and he`s not elite, Bud man-handled Spence.

    Spence was either erightdrained or was dealing with motion sickness

    I half agree with you. If Tszyu loses it will answer a lot of questions with a negative response. If Tim wins, it doesn't really say much about how good he is at 154. One-Time has never fought at junior middleweight and his only fight since 2019 was against a man who'd never had a welterweight fight. A victory, even a dominating win over Thurman proves very little.

    So from that point of view I think it's a no win situation for Tszyu but it will provide good experience and what he learns may help him in the future.
