terry norris VS Oscar De la Hoya 1997

[TIGEREDGE]

a fight that was rumoured to be on the cards in 1997 was between these two crowd pleasers. I think Oscar wins by late stoppage

[Piffer]

Prime Terry Norris whoops any version of Oscar

[Illmatic]

DLH lands a left hook to the jaw on that suspect chin and stops him in the mid rounds...

and as I remember this fight wasnt ever planned, it was Tito vs Norris that was planned

[stillafan]

Norris gets layed out by a Vintage left hook by OScar

oscar by KO

[TIGEREDGE]

The fight never happened because Norris got KTFO by that gulf war vet Keith Mullings. I'm sorry but no china-chin will ever whoop De La Hoya. DLH mid-late KO

a tito fight was planned for early 1997 and a oscar fight was planned for 1998

Oscar would knock him out

Terry wasn't the same fighter by 1997 as he was a few years earlier.

DLH by stoppage.

Exactly but prime Norris would have beaten Oscar IMO.

Agreed.

Oscar was better at the lower weight classes than he was at 154.

[jackiebrown]

terry norris is quite possibley the best 154 pounder in the history of that weight... he had all the tools to beat delahoya

Hearns, McCallum, and Jackson were all better.

I'm not talking about "greatest at the weight class" (most achievements), I'm talking about the best fighter there (ability wise, head-to-head)

Mike McCallum, Julian Jackson, and Thomas Hearns were all better at the weight, despite not staying there as long.

Jackson's win over Graham wasn't even at 154 anyway.

[jackiebrown]

ohhhh ...yeah i saw that when i looked back .. damn eyes betrayed me ..coulda swore it said 150

yeah your right .. talent wise there all better ..

[Caper]

I was a huge fan I Terry Norris......

It would be close, I'd have to favor DLH but pre 97 around Norris prime weight 54lbs Terrible Terry by UD.
