    Would this animal give Terry a terrible time, or be tamed?

    terry norris might of fought at 154 his whole pro career but he wasnt a immensly big guy. he was rarely ever over 153 at most. usually coming at 150 or even 149. her never struggled to make weight even in his later career.

    it's a red herring that norris picked on smaller guys becuase he was only 3 pounds over the limit....hardly bigger to such and extent.
    and in that most welters thought they could beat norris becuase he was a welter that never made the limit.

    fletcher however is a big big man built and strong. used a effiecent game plan and had a nice enough style. i dont think he has the plan to nail terry with enough success. as much as terry had a weak chin you did have to swarm him to finish him. he was never laid out in one punch.


    i think norris would outbox and hurt fletcher a few times. 117-113
    (if this is 12 rounds)

    handspeed combinations and pop can back up and keep fletche rin check. the ones that got ot norris were never the swarmers or the inside fighters

    Because of his exciting Tidal Wave Attacking style Frank was able to drag everyone into exchanges, and it was only big strong Middles like scypion and Roldan who were able to resist him and come out with the win ( Frank due to his Ring wars and his apparent less then Spartan out of Ring Lifestyle was shot after Roldan and by the time Mugabi got to him )

    The Frank who Over-Ran Guys Like Sabeter, hard Rock Green, Nesmith and Singletary i feel would Just keep coming a Terry, Taking Away Terry's time to Compose and Execute, Whilst frank was far from the biggest Middleweigght Hitter, he kept them coming, often at a furious Rate, I think this saturation Approach would ultimately Pin Terry Down, Leaving Him Trapped on the Ropes and in Corners where Frank would belabour him, Once that stage is reached, in the second half perhaps, i do not have complete faith in his ability to weather repeated and/or constant fletcher Storms, we Know Frank we charge onwards as long as he has an ounce of strengh left, and when he hasnt he will run on empty, We saw it in his fights with sabeter and Clint Jackson, i do not think Terry has this resilience. ( Certainly Terry's first fight with Simon Brown leads me to this concluesion ) I'd think perhaps Frank the Animal circa 8th...Anuless he catch Terry with something Big Earlier.

    It would be an even matchup for seven rounds, but Fletcher eventually gets to Norris for a ninth round TKO, with a couple of knockdowns added.

    Frank was a tough guy, but Norris could outclass him.
