    My gut says Terry would stop him.

    The Benitez who schooled Duran and Hope would take Norris apart. Will at his best was a class above Norris.

    Benitez TKO 11.

    For some reason Terry Norris is insanely overrated on this forum.

    He was a damn good fighter with a lot of talent, don't get me wrong. Still doesn't change the fact that his three best wins came against a shot Leonard, a shot Curry, and a completely undersized Taylor.

    And Taylor was on the road to being shot too. Norris was the fight that Taylor went from "past his best" to "shot". Watching Taylor gut out a win over Glenwood Brown in early 1992 to fighting Cristano Espana in Halloween of that year....Ugh.

    Norris, McCallum, Tito and The Hawk - Hard to pick against them at 154.

    Benitez would be to slick. I think a decision would be most likely.

    Hearns would've beaten all 4.

    That Benitez would have knocked Norris unconscious...just like you said, after thoroughly schooling his man.

    The Norris that fought against Castro might be a tough out for Benitez. This is a good fight. Have to think on this one a bit more.

    Who on that list has a realistic chance of beating Hearns? McCallum would be the only one.

    Hearns KO's Norris, Jackson, and Trinidad.

    All of them KO Norris. One already did.

    Yep, Mike.

    Jackson would catch Tommy. If Barkley can, Julian can. Especially at 154.
