    Norris`s chin could get in the way. Duran could still punch and had that quick right hand lead. Let`s be serious Terry Norris got stretched badly by not just Jackson but little plodding Simon Brown.

    You can say that Duran did better facing guys that slugged with him but it`s also true that Terry Norris did better facing guys that were either totally shot {Ray Leonard} {Donald Curry} or guys who were smaller and brought little to no firepower up in weight {Meldrick Taylor}.

    I do agree that Norris could outbox Duran and probably win rounds but he would be vulnerable to getting hurt at any moment. Duran had timing, counterpunching ability and a slick defense himself.

    Truthfully Duran probably wins more often than not. Terry just can`t take it well enough.

    Norris was a bad style for Duran was he'd slowed down. I like Norris here.

    Wow Duran getting sold way short here.
    If Duran is motivated and in top shape there isnt anything Norris will show him that he hasnt already seen.
    I gotvan in shape Duran by UD or possible late round TKO
