That Jackson can really hit. I think he's the most devastating puncher in my lifetime.
Totally agree, out before they hit the floor most of em !

I saw every one of his televised fights in real time. Norris was physically gifted as anyone but he had no chin....ever. He wasn't a particularly big junior middleweight either.

I remember reading a boxing magazine article in the 90's whereby the subject was a dream fight between Norris and Mike McCallum. The author picked Norris and I remember being outraged.

Norris had big names on his resume and probably deserves his HOF membership but he was always a loss waiting to happen as I saw it.

I don't see "Terrible" Terry Norris beating the great Mike McCallum in no kind of fashion. The Body Snatcher wins ten outta ten. A complete fighter that McCallum was. Great fighter.

Great offense.

Poor chin.
