    I like Norris as a fighter, but he would engage too much... I think Carter hurts him and keeps him hurt...
    Carter KO 4

    Emile Griffith found out what Carter can do.

    Terry would have the same thing happen to him too.

    Anybody who can take out a prime Emile Griffith can punch. Anybody who can be hurt by a jab is in trouble verse Carter. Carter KO 6.

    I agree with the consensus...Rubin would have slotted nicely into the junior middle division.
    His chin and power were top shelf and he only lost to extremely good, often great fighters.

    I think it would have been an electrifying fight while it lasted though..but with Carter always looking like he is going to catch up with Terry...early to mid round KO for the Hurricane.

    I like Rubin in this one as well. I think his bruising attack will be a little too much for Terry. Carter by KO.

    With all due respect to the thread starter, I think putting Terry Norris in h2h fantasy matchups is unfair to Norris because no poster would hardly make an argument for him because of his really bad chin issues.

    Norris gets sparked the moment Rubin lands anything of consequence, which frankly wouldn`t take too long in my opinion, especially if Rubin would question Terry`s masculinity and toughness before the fight to get him to fight him as opposed to box him.

    Well Terry is on his best night was one of the great jnr midddles ever..his record speaks for itself.

    Against Punchers yeah people are probably going to dredge that up but he did beat punchers aswell.

    Though I wouldnt pick him against someone like Carter, I probably would against a guy like Vargas for instance.
