    Who would you pick to win, Personally i see norris dominating floyd, i'm not sure how floyd would deal with terrys speed and footwork and as questionable as terrys chin was i doubt floyd has enough power to test norris in this department

    at 154, i'd favour terry but not by much. his ring iq was nowhere near the level of his talent. floyd could outsmart him to win a close decision. norris could also fight a bit dirty from time to time and if floyd frustrates him enough, i could see terry hitting him in the balls or behind the head

    Norris would be too much for Floyd at light middle. It shows how much people rate Floyd that they put him in match-ups like these against a top 3 154 pounder ever and an all time dog in Terrible Terry. Norris was very difficult to outbox and i don't see Floyd keeping him off. Terry was insanely strong physically and mentally and would get in Floyd's grill, outhussle him. To big, too much power, workrate and dynamism. Plus Floyd wouldn't have the edge in speed as he did against someone like DLH for example. The only fight he's had at this weight. Norris feasted on welters for the most part. He knew exactly how to fight smaller guys.

    Prime Mayweather was too small for Norris who was a solid junior middle.

    People dont really understand how small Floyd is, he was never a welterweight in his absolute prime. I think hes just now a solid 147 pounder, but hes getting a little slower fighting more flat footed. Mayweather would always be a difficult fight for anyone though because hes difficult to hit cleanly.

    floyd could catch him coming in a few times but terry was a keen counter-puncher, arguably just as fast if not faster than floyd and a division or 2 above floyds prime weight.

    think floyd cant stay ion the ropes at all. see norris forcing it and letting floyd miss.

    couldn't see it any other way

    Today's Mayweather takes a comprehensive beating

    The one that fought DLH loses a 116-112 decision

    Assuming it's at 154, Norris all day. He has too much speed and the smaller Mayweather won't be nearly as effective. Not to mention Terry's punches will be more effective than Floyd's. It comes down to a decision that's not even debatable.
