Thread: Terry Norris vs Oscar De La Hoya

@ 154, its clear Norris was faster and hit harder but something tells me Oscar would have shattered his glass chin.

Norris was one of the those guys who could have beaten anybody in history but at the same time he could have got knocked by anybody on given night.

I really loved his style but because he couldnt take as much as he dished out, Im going to have to go with Oscar..

The best of Norris VS the best of Oscar, I'd definitely go with the latter although 154 wasn't OScar's best weight.

02 Oscar would have weathered the storm early and knock him out in the late rounds..

Terry Norris is the best 154 offensive fighter ever. His losses were always due to his own carelessness. His chin wasn't the best and he didn't protect it. But his offense was good enough to beat anybody

Norris on his way to victory gets caught and stopped late. Shuts out De La Hoya in a rematch.

No idea who wins this but good match up that I haven't heard before

They were due to fight but Terry lost his fight and was finished by that time. At their respective best Noriss wins he was incredible but he was not the best light middle ever Mike McCallum was.

IMO DLH's chin would have held up to Norris' best shots, I can't say the same the other way around, only thing that might have failed DLH would be his stamina, but given his chin and his consistency mentally he would have the edge going in

Would have been a tremendous fight. De La Hoya really did have a great chin and punch, but 154 would have favoured Norris in a hypothetical. Pick em if I've ever heard one.
