    Name me one fight in Terry prime( where he got hit a lot?...with 1989 to 1992 being his peak prime years.....You won't be able to cause he never did, from the years of 1989 to 1996 he never hardly had bloody nose at all or any lumps or bruising on his face, quite simply the man hardly ever got hit flush and it wasn't because he didn't face skilled fighters like your dumbass is trying to proclaim.

    yeah, you are right Benny. Norris has got nothing to fear from Starling. everyone keeps saying how good he was but he really wasnt

    Ray batters Marlon's gloves sufficiently over 15 to earn a decision.

    No. Starling wasnt a very good fighter.... but Ray is just outta his league, and the style matchup is bad for Starling.

    No you join it ? what's next ? Bob Foster TKO 12 James Toney ?
    Starling lasted the distance with a prime Donald Curry and a prime Michael Nunn among others and stopped some big top contenders of his time.
    SRL would not have stopped Starling. A decision win is the reasonable outcome.

    Hey i thought Moochie was a helluva a fighter but no way is this an even match fight. SRL wins a clear decision in a somewhat competetive bout.

    easy win for Leonard. Marlon had good defense but Ray was too quick. He would still be landing body punches on a coming forward Starling and then hitting Marlon with head punches and Marlon would be smiling but being hit more than he was used to being hit. UD for Ray.

    Sugar Ray beats Marlon by a wide decision, but in no way truly hurts him enough for a stoppage.

    Marlon's defense and surprising offense may cause his to steal two to three rounds tops, but Ray has this one in the palm of his hand for a big-time decision win.

    Starling would kick Norris' ass that's for sure.

    Leonard would capitalize on every mental lapse that Starling had in the ring...If Ray hurt him bad enough, he might finish him...but the pick is Leonard by convincing UD.
