Jake lamotta v Terry Norris

But you didn`t have to be a big puncher with Norris, Keith Mullings, Simon Brown...

 

LaMotta stops him late. LaMotta would laugh at Norris` attempts to hurt him, and he is just way too big for Norris...You ALWAYS have to factor Norris` fine china chin into any hypothetical all time match up...I mean blown up welters KO`d him...

 

Being a huge fan of Terry Norris, I have to say that I think that Jake Lamotta would be too tough and rugged for Norris and would eventually catch him one too many times and put him away for a KO.

The odds of Norris being able to sustain the same speed over 12-15 rounds against Lamotta is not likely and as far as I'm concerned, knocking out Lamotta just isn't going to happen.

 

He beat Castro who was a good puncher. People act like if he faces a puncher he loses which isn't always the case. Mostly though.

 

True he beat Castro. But seriously though, does anyone rank Mullings or Brown at top all time power list ?? I didn`t even mention JJ, who IS a big hitter... People conveniently look the other way when it comes to Norris weak chin...

 

People primarily bring up his bad chin which was a weakness of course but he made a decent career with that big disadvantage. Also he beat Mugabi who albeit was faded, could still bang and was a champion at the time.

 

The same way I can tell recount the Battle of Gettysburg though there is no film of it. Come on man.

You do realize of course that LaMotta didn't get his first title shot until he was 88 fights in, right? If you want to level the field, then sure, let's focus on a past-prime LaMotta. Prime Norris, let's remember, made his name sweeping out the refuse of "used to be's" like Leonard, Taylor, Curry, and Mugabi -3 of whom were WWs. That's Norris in 90, 91, 92. Now take a good look at what LaMotta was doing in 43, 44, 45.

If you want to take them at their respective best, my guy is fighting all comers and going toe-to-toe with Murderers' Row.

Comparatively speaking, your guy is on easy street with a broom.
