I'd like to point out that even the beer-guzzling, Yodels-devouring pot belly 154 lb version of Pernell Whitaker is still better than anyone Terry Norris has ever faced.
this topic was already done a year ago and I laid out my position thoroughly Norris would never beat Pete, much less actually fight him
I wish LOK was a commentator on TV... picture this exchange: Larry Merchant: The question is... does pacquiao... have too much... for... Marquez... Or... Can the old dog... learn a new... trick? Jim Lampley: and over to our resident analyst, LOK... LOK, what is your prediction for Pacquiao/Marquez III? LOK: Jim, Larry, this is going to be a one-sided fight... I expect Pacquiao to sodomize Marquez for the first four rounds and then finish him off in the 5th, squatting over him and shitting on his chest before cumming on his gloves... back to you, Jim
after whitaker beat jc vasquez, merchant asked him if he was willing to stick around at 154 and fight norris and whitaker said no. i think norris would've whupped his ass.
that match up was actually talked about during the whole p4p debate. whitaker was THAT great. jones would've fucked him up though.
Norris by decision. Only possible outcome. Anyone who gives any other outcome on this matchup doesn't know what they are talking about.
horseshit Norris was never within 100 miles of a fighter this good Whitaker beat better men than Terry Norris, several of them with EASE
Better men, POUND FOR POUND perhaps but not better men when you consider Norris' size as well as his skills. Pernell is too small and doesn't hit hard enough to accomplish anything with Norris.
nonsense... he flat out HANDLED a bigger, stronger, more durable jr middlewight than Norris ... he got HIS respect with his punch, he could definitely get Norris's with his ten cent chin
This. I'm a huge fan of Pea's, but he has nothing for Terry. P4P Pea obviously wins, at 154 where this fight takes place, I'll take Norris by UD.
Yes but not a Junior Middleweight with the combination of physical attributes Norris had. Vasquez could be outboxed - he lost plenty rounds to plenty fighters, and equilized that with his physicality. Snake venom to a mongoose against Pernel. Meanwhile Norris rarely lost rounds but basically lost fights when another guy could hurt him and KO him. A mongoose against a much bigger but shitier mammal, here. Maybe a stupid inbred dog or something. He probably makes it a good fight, but the mongoose struggles.
Whitaker absolutely had enough pop to hurt him, absolutely 100%... furthermore, he had the skills to get the punches to the target Norris gets far too much credit for looking good against horrible or shot, undersized fighters (and not always looking good at that)
