    Primes at 154.

    I think a focused Norris beats him up badly, honestly. Too fast, too skilled, too athletic, too talented.

    Canelo has a legit puncher's chance but I don't think Terry allows him to get into this rhythm.

    Canelo's puncher's chance is directly related to his being a fucking Cruiserweight on fight night ... But even with the extra 20 pounds, I bet he still gets fucking painted by Norris and becomes gun-shy as fuck... Norris was a far superior and more powerful offensive force at 154 than Floyd fucking Mayweather and he had the guy afraid to throw

    Sorry, but pasting Khan isn't enough to change my opinion on this one.

    Norris does a number on Crapnelo.
     
  4. Goooooooooood fight! Haven't seen this one before. Norris by decision but a KO for Canelo isn't out of the question

    I admit, with Terry's chin you can't completely count Ginger out.

    However, Terry was a league above Ginger as a technician would school him more times than not.

    I think the difference is speed more than technique. Norris probably wins
     
  7. Agreed. Norris was a fantastic talent . His chin was his only weakness. If Norris had a dependable chin he would have given even a prime Leonard hell.

    Even chin aside, prime Leonard was more talented than Norris.

    Leonard had faster hands, that alone would be a problem for Norris, who's main attribute was his handspeed.

    Leonard was also taller, had a longer reach, and a MUCH higher ring IQ.

    In other words, even a solid chin Norris loses to a prime Leonard.
     
  9. I agree that Norris would lose anyway, but with a solid chin he'd give Leonard a hell of a fight

    I have a theory that Norris didn't start out with a shit chin.

    I think Jackson's right hand forever ruined his punch resistance.

    Yeah, for a guy who was "born ready" and "doesn't fuck around" he sure looked UNready against real skills and did a lot of fucking around.

    And please don't gimme that "He was only 23!!!"

    Norris was in his prime at 23.

    And what does 23 mean anyway? The guy's had like 40 something fights... Benitez was a world champion at 17, Cuevas at 18, Tyson at 20, Patterson at 21, Sly's boyfriend at 21
     
  13. Lol @ "sly's boyfriend ". You fellas are relentless

    Norris should win this without any trouble. But you never know with this guy. He could walk int a desesperation bomb and get stretched out. Still, the most likely outcome by far is Norris by commanding decision.
