    Who wins this match up?

    Two quite technical boxers who were very adept at neutralising speedsters and we're able to win in quite routine boring fashion once they established a foothold.

    Both were taken out in early rounds against big punchers who they are supposed to be beating.

    Not sure how many more similarities there are but I figure this would be quite a technical chessmatch.

    I slightly favour Forrest as he was a very big WW and I think he'd be able to establish his jab and offset Norris.

    Terry Norris seems like a tall order for Vernon Forrest. Not even sure Forrest would get past a prime Sugar Ray Leonard, tbh.

    Norris wins this. Possibly by KO.

    Norris is one of the greatest 154'ers ever.

    Norris via TKO or Decision.
