    Pazienza started out at LW but bulked up (this thread isn't about how) and fought as high as SMW. He was quick, athletic, durable, and strong. He wasn't a huge puncher and he was somewhat of a bleeder... but was only stopped 3 times. 50-10 (30) overall and he won world titles at 135 and 154. He did win a couple of minor world titles at 168 as well.

    Norris is a Hall of Famer. He was stopped a few times and DQd a few times but when he was at his best he was great.

    I see a mismatch here but one of my friends wanted me to put this one up and see how everybody felt about it.

    Norris was fast, elusive, accurate, a great puncher, and just all around better. Pazienza had speed but he wasn't hard to hit and he wasted a lot of energy.

    Norris by lopsided decision or TKO on cuts.
