Napoles vs. Norris

Napoles would have exploited Norris' chin and knocked him cold. As good as Norris was, it would have been a mismatch, I assure you. Napoles was the best.

 

Hi Tommy what's up?

People forget how well Terry bould box and woe to any man who dares crowd him in a fight. Jose was just too small for him and Terry's much faster.

 

Terry Norris never fought anyone that compares to Jose Napoles. Prime Napoles was capable of taking out a chinny guy like Norris with one accurate shot, ala the second fight with Ernie Lopez, who had a better chin than Norris, somewhat approximating Julian Jackson's 1 shot ko of Norris. Jackson may have had Jose on pure single punch ko power, but the deadly accuracy and power of Napoles was not far behind. Mantequilla was deadly with single shots, or with accurate, precision flurries, as Adolph Pruitt or Hedgemon Lewis could attest to. Either way, it would have made Norris' long range boxing and other gifts he possessed a moot point, as I think Napoles' accurate weopons and Terry's bad chin would decide the match. Napoles ko 5 Norris.

 

Mantequilla Napoles would be to smooth for Terry who would grow quite frustrated when Napoles outslicked him and was able to take Terry's power like it was nothing.
