    I haven't seen one of these types of threads in awhile, so I thought I'd get the ball rolling.

    My first one is about Terrible Terry Norris. At one point, he was top 5 p4p, but that accomplishment came about from him feasting on welterweights (Taylor, Curry, Blocker) and old guys (Leonard, Mugabi). Simon Brown fit both bills, so Norris was matched to fight him.

    Norris said that he would go through Brown "...like water through a pipe". Brown decked Norris with a jab and when they stood and traded, Brown put him to sleep with a right hand.

    Norris would go on to win the rematch, but Brown admitted Norris's previous talk motivated him (ie. pissed him off), and that was a factor in the victory.

    Norris is a punch drunk wreck now.

    He was IMO the best combination puncher in history, bar none.
