    Norris forces a former 130-lb. champ up to 149 lbs. to a fight.

    Norris then fights his son at 154

    Don King wanted to make this fight back in the day.

    Good it didn't happen, Norris is just too big for him.

    agree... too much of a size disparity here... Chavez would not have worn the weight well, even if he had attempted it closer to his prime

    Yep, he did nothing of merit really above 140. Duran is one of the few pressure fighters that was able to climb to higher weight classes and still compete. Everyone is already well aware that he didn't exactly go undeafeated when doing it either.

    Boxer types (especially with good hand speed) are much better suited to weight jumping.

    Does Chavez Jr. last the distance against Terry?

    Pacquiao is no longer your prototypical pressure fighter but i think he deserves mention as his style is still very offensive minded.

    I'm thinking ref/corner stoppage. Chavez loves to be right in front of guys and that would be a nightmare against a bigger faster guy who can throw bombs with both hands.
