You're half right. Norris fought a large part of his career in the 80's. Up until 1989 Manny would no chance. Pacquiao blows out the 1990 onward Norris.
A few "IF's" in this fight...If Pac chin hold up he wins....if Norris is able to touch/hurt Pacquiao he WINS... We know NORRIS chin can't hold up...so that is not an "IF"...:cheer:
I disagree 100 percent with this statement. Terry was the best combination puncher ever, and I am talking Ray Robinson as well. The Norris that stopped Meldrick Taylor would have creamed little Manny, used his head as a speed bag and knocked him flat on his back in the Vegas night. Manny gets wins over a washed up and dilapidated Oscar, and over a man who was nearly beaten to death, and some of you are saying he beats one of the most lethal jr. middles ever? Most of you folks don't realize how small a guy Manny is..I give him no shot vs. Terry.
Norris beats up tiny, light-hitting, rapidly fading Meldrick Taylor and now he's Ray Robinson? what a load of hyperbolic horseshit from the Smegman (per usual)
Was '95. Norris fell apart by '97, at least by the end of the year. Won but not in spectacular fashion against Nick Rupa, pulled out of the Trinidad fight and was stretched by Keith Mullings at years end. I don't completely disagree that the '95 version does damage to Pacquiao, but not sure he looked any better at that point than before the first Simon Brown fight.
Given Pacquiao's penchant for mayhem and Norris' chinny chin chin you can never be confident in a Norris pick in this one. Norris' style and size would give Pacquiao fits though.
