I need to see Danny at 147 one or maybe two more times before this but I think Danny has the tools to beat him.

Porter has no boxing skill. he would run into something that puts him to sleep fighting the way he does.

The chilemba fight is terrible, you got Shabransky and Gonzalez out there.

Loses don't always tell the whole story fam. As a boxing fan you should know that. And I hate to sound cliche but styles makes fights & there's a reason Floyd avoided some Black fighters while moving up the weights. He feasted on latino fighters mostly. The difference between Norris & Chico is Norris's peak & skillset was a level above Chico. That's a fact. Chico was tall & a little rangy but he fought mid range & on the inside mostly. And his foot work wasn't as good as it should've been & he couldn't punch on the move. If you can't see the difference in skilset with Norris & most of Floyd's opponents then we'll have to agree to disagree.

Well yeah losses don't tell the whole story, but HOW they lose does, you should know that. Norris' skill set is nothing special and his style isnt original or unpregnable. Floyd's is and he's proven it over and over. Like I said, the same things you listed that were SUPPOSED advantages for Norris were the same for Chico. He feasted on plenty of good Black brehs, and he explained why he fought a lot of Latino fighters 1. More money was made due to the Latino market and their loyalty to their fighters which equals $$$ 2. Felt they were perceived as "relentless" 3. Didn't like how boxing pitted the best Black fighters against each other and they didn't do it white fighters. So don't pretend that he was scared of Black fighters, look at what he did to them. In regards to Chico and Terrible, the differences in skill set isn't a huge difference in either favor, are you serious breh? The only thing that I can agree on is, you creating a fantasy fight and actually telling us what will happen and how is crazy. But I hear you breh.

Edit: I'm referring to Norris' peak, not the latter part of his career. I hope your doing the same for Floyd, not when he was old. 130-140 lbs Floyd was a totally different animal that 147 Floyd.

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

I agree with this. Peak Terry Norris > anybody Floyd fought.

Yeah say THAT instead. At 154 which isn't Floyd's weight and is Norris' peak, would have been something to see.

Shane landed two punches lol and never landed again lol
He was not out his feet, he was still going forward abd throwing punches lol
People overeact AND over analyze every clean punched landed on floyd because it rarely happens. Yet you think Norris is just gonna continuiously hit Floyd with clean shots

Norris is a better counter puncher than floyd


Norris has lost to lesser fighters than floyd lol Ppl just enjoy giving floyd imaginary l's

He also lost to fighters lesser than Sugar Ray Leonard.

In a 1 on 1 matchup, other fighters who they beat/lost to means nothing. Styles make fights

Wow fam We're just gonna have to agree to disagree on this if you think that's the case because this opinion would be a small minority.

Floyd's excuses for not fighting Mark Too Sharp Johnson or Stevie Johnston (those are the first two that come to mind) is flimsy at best bruh. Feasting on latino fighters that wouldn't pose the slick Black style he would've face is dishonest to me. I can't believe you're trying to almost equate Chico's & Norris skill level fam. You can't be serious?

 

[Knicksman20]

Yep.

I can't see Floyd beating Terry Norris at 154

I can't see Floyd beating him at any weight based on their styles. Floyd was more offensive minded under Roger at the lower weights which would've gave Norris more opportunities to land his shots

Sugar Ray Leonard in 1991 tho


and yes I agree other fights dont matter, but the other Homie was saying because Mosley landed 2 punches in 12 rounds on floyd that terry Norris would beat him lol

Floyd will never get his due but it's whatever

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Yep.

I can't see Floyd beating Terry Norris at 154

And that's because Floyd isn't a154 fighter and never had any business there. Bring his ass down to 140 and fight Floyd at his comfortable weight, Norris loses.

You're equating FLOYD AND NORRIS. You cant be serious. That alone restricts me from responding to the other stuff you typed.

 

[Knicksman20]

​

So Floyd wasn't more offensive at the lower weights?

 

[seemorecizzy]

Fam that nikka was out on his fight & survived on his guts & toughness. He legs were gone. Saying anything otherwise makes me think you got your fan goggles on bruh

lol son are u ever watching these fights
Floyd was stunned
He was going forward and throwing punches literally 3 seconds later
Mosley was backing up towards to the end

If you want to see Gone legs, watch khan vs Danny Garcia

 

[Knicksman20]

You equating FLOYD AND NORRIS. You cant be serious. That alone restricts me from responding to the other stuff you typed.

Nobody's equating them. I said styles make fights & if you were being more objective about assessing Floyd you'd see the same thing
