    I would think people would just enjoy the video instead of constantly worrying about the immensity of the defeat. I have already forgiven him for the loss even though he should have won.

    Besides, people love speed don't they?

    Terry had that kind of speed where he'd always beat the opponent to it by split seconds, in leonard's case by several seconds.

    Terry wasnt the combination puncher that Ray was but more of the Roy Jones type where he could always get off so much quicker than the opposition. This throws off everything and forces you to readjust. With Terry though he could do this all night until the match evolved/degenerated into a pathtic mismatch.

    Norris always had the style to beat Ray. Larry Holmes also confessed to this and I saw it coming a mile away. As Terry put it, he just picked the wrong opponent. Even as an amateur in the early 1980's, Terry's Father commented when asked how would your son do against Ray. he didnt just say Terry would beat him. He said Terry will

    him. And I think it is rather obvious that this would happen.

    As Terry said, "tonight one legend will end and another will begin"

    Was Terry's father on the Jack Daniels at the time?. Only one fighter is getting murdered when both in their primes, and it sure ain't Leonard.

    No he looked pretty sober at the time but you can see for yourself it's on the same clip I pasted. And it looks like he was right and you were wrong. I ask you, how could you be SO WRONG?!?

    The point is to give Terry proper credit in that he overcame adversity and defeated all odds
