    Rays foot movement would be a huge factor in this fight,plus Marlon wasnt a busy fighter but a counterpucher,but not against someone who could move their feet,he went to the body well,but he would,nt be able to get there enough,this is a bad matchup for Starling.

    marlon would be no match for the superfast Sugar Man. It would take a man of extra ordinary skills and speed to utterly defeat him. A man like T. Norris

    Na...Starling was a very good fighter,but this just isnt a good matchup at all for him,but i could see him giving Norris problems though.:D

    :lol:

    give my man Norris problems? What kind of problems?

    I watched a green Don Curry outpoint starling and Donald had the flu going in.

    My man Norris wouldnt even work up a sweat with MS. he could just go out there in the middle of the ring and tell Marlon "I'm Terry Norris, take a back seat". Marlon would be too weak and too slow to challenge him

    it takes a real ***** to beat Norris and you got to have a hell of an arsenal like Jackson. Starling, what's he got to offer?

    True,but his defense was not the greatest,and im not gonna even bring up his chin.lol Starling certainly hit hard enough to hurt him,and Starlings body attack would slow him down,and then he would get to him.And you probably should know a Prime Curry was better than a prime Norris,so dont think yo boy could do what Curry did.lol:D

    Terry defense wasn't great but it was very close to being great, Terry hardly ever got hit flush, his defense was very,very good. Just half away notch from being great.

    Well....if you say so,we all know what happened when he did get hit dont we? and it was a lot more often than you are proclaiming and thats only against the guys that wernt skilled enough to figure out how to hit him......so the prasacution rests his case.:lol:
