    this is a tough one to choose. tim is still young and not been tested like norris was.
    would have been a fun fight to watch though.

    Norris. Let's see how Tszyu's career plays out first

    Tim's too untested at this point.

    Tim looks the part, but to your point, young and untested. Norris could get cracked and could crack. Until I see Tszyu in with and whooping better comp, I'll go with Norris.

    Terry Norris didn't exactly beat much. He beat who he beat but his CV is not incredibly impressive.

    I think Tszyu may have been just a bit too much for him.

    Toss up right now because Tszyu is still an unknown quantity, and Terry isn't exactly very good.

    Right not too much being WORLD CLASS for OVER TEN YEARS. Not really much in defeating 12 world champions.
    Terry would knock Tim out in three rounds I promise you that. Tim has never even been in the ring with someone who is as fast as a prime Norris or hit as hard.
    Jesus Terry has more KNOCKOUTS then Tim has fights.

    Please, Terry Norris was decent but he was barely "world class."

    And you have no way of promising anything so ease off the crack pipe champ.

    Norris was a great boxer and has the record to back it up. I never really liked him but he was a great fighter.
    Tim has beaten how many world champions? How many HOF has he shared the ring with?
    Jorge Castro is better then any boxer Tim has fought by a long shot.

    Tim is what almost 30 years old give me a break. He has beaten who? Hell at TWENTY ONE Terry had already beaten a former world champion and a future world champion.
    Hell at age 24 Terry already has more fights then Tim does in his entire career.
    Two different class of boxers. One came up the hard way and had to fight hard fights to earn his shot. The other happens to have the last name of a famous boxer.

    Terrible Terry got dropped & badly hurt by Troy Waters. King Timmy is a terrible match-up for him.

    The Australian steel in King Timmy's chin allows him to take whatever Terrible Terry dishes out.

    Can Terrible Terry take a right hand flush on the chops from King Timmy? Doubtful & that's being generous to Terrible Terry.

    Terrible Terry was a top-notch baseballer as a youngster. That's fitting, b/c King Timmy hits him for a home run in the middle rounds.

    Well he schooled Harrison. That’s the equal of any of Norris’ wins.

    Sweet Jesus you think Harrison is a good win at that point???? Harrison isn't even a full time boxer anymore- he's fought FOUR times since 2019.

    My god that's his greatest win????? You think Harrison was a better pro then JORGE CASTRO??? Quincy Taylor?

    My god I thought you knew a little about boxing but you actually don't.

    Next your going to tell me Tim is better then Mike MCcallum.

    Castro I will give you (Taylor absolutely not) but Harrison beat Charlo and then almost beat him again. He was the top guy at 154 and is only a few fights removed from that.

    Your argument about 4 fights in 4 years is utter rubbish. Most fighters aren’t fighting much more than that once they are close to the top of their game these days due to the politics involved. But I am guessing that is the excuse you’ll use when Tszyu beats up on Charlo (if Charlo ever grows the stones to make it happen).

    Norris was good/average and he lost plenty of fights. There’s nothing to say that Tszyu wouldn’t be more than a match for him.
