Norris was deadly and about Leonard s size as we all know SRL ko'd Hearns the 1st time .
I think Norris could hurt Hearns if he got close enough but Hearns is a master boxer
& Leonard was rawhide tough and had an excellent chin.After a few feeling out rounds I think Hearns would stop Norris around 5 or 6 rds.Probably brutally.

The Hitman would use his longer reach to out-jab Norris on the outside, then taking him apart with left-right combinations, then finishing him out with a big right cross to KO Norris between rounds 6 to 8.

Hearns was at his best at 154. He would keep Norris at bay for 6 rounds with the jab, and then land the death blow in round 7.

For me, it's very hard to phantom a guy to beat that Thomas Hearns of the Roberto Duran and Len Hutchins fights. The 1984 version of the Hitman at 154lbs was so devastating that I could only see 2 guys beating him at that weight: The greats Mike McCallum and Sugar Ray Robinson. That's it!
Hearns by knockout in 4. Too much weaponry and arsenal for Terry Norris.
