    Looked terrible? He won nearly every round.
    If Leonard used his footwork and just boxed Kalule, he would have won a wide UD.

    Yes I know that. (read what I wrote in The Leonard / R.Jones thread) Leonard wanted the knock -out.
    And unlike Jones jr and Mayweather jr wasn't afraid to get in the fire to get it. But because he wasn't afraid
    to get in the fire , lead to his two biggest victories in Hearns 1 and Hagler. And also showed his fire in the Duran
    fight in Montreal, and what happened in that fight probably sub consciously lead to what happened to Duran in New Orleans.

    If Terry Norris fought a discipline fight he could give SRL problems.
    However Norris was a hot head and once SRL hit him he would
    become undisciplined and SRL would take advantage and boom it
    would be over . SRL ko in 4.

    Is not like i care about what you think, but i think that it was pretty obvious that i was talking about the skills demostrated during the fight and not about "HE BEATS EVERYONE BECAUSE HE BEAT BROWN", who is an underrated world class fighter btw, but if you can't understand the clear meaning of an statement, why do i bother trying to explain something more complicated like the set of skills of a fighter ?

    Spot on. Brown was never the same after losing a one-sided decision to Buddy McGirt in '91

    Terry Norris would always be dangerous because of his speed and power but his chin was always suspect .. Ray in a tough chess match would get him eventually ..

    You obviously do. You responded. But your words were almost "every one", on the day he beat S.Brown. I disagree. I pointed out my reasons for disagreeing with you. Now your telling the world about the skills Norris showed. But it's easy to show "skills" on a fighter over the hill and going deep in the valley. But if that impressed you. Well good for you. The sites is about different perspectives on the game we love. Everyone isn't going to agree with you, or me for that matter . So get a grip, and get over yourself...

    I am frankly bewildered how Norris "biggest fan" hasn't made it into the thread yet.... weird...

    He's been MIA for a long time. Probably no internet privileges wherever he is.
