    Kalambay was a naturally larger man that was pretty underrated.Norris had great skills,but his true weight was 154 and his chin wasn't that great even at that weight.Kalambay by late round ko.

    I take Norris by comfy UD. Too much speed, and Kalambay's KO % was average at best.

    kalambay was quite a weak puncher based on his record. i also saw his fights with mccallum (1st fight) and nunn (not that it is too relevant for this discussion) and he is not a hard puncher . the fight he lost to kalule he downed kalule twice but kalule downed him once. and kalule was also a 154.
    a stoppage won't be here. i somewhat favor kalambay to take a decision but can understand those who will favor norris to take it.

    Well Norris always did well vs technician boxers, but Kalambay isnt just any techncinan boxer, and he's the larger man in this matchup. Sumbu would have some trouble early with Terry's handspeed, but by the mid rounds he begins to pop that jab, and counter Norris, and Terry would be in for a long night from then on. Kalambay by UD, or maybe even a late stoppage.
