Not that high. Was a great come from behind KO but Herol was not an outstanding fighter. Very talented, but never really proved himself at world level in my opinion. Jackon's KO over Norris should be way higher.

 

Norris would not have done much had he fought at 160 either.

 

I agree.

Both are devastating knockouts but I consider Jackson's over Norris based purely on the fact that the opposition was of much higher level.

 

Norris was not of a much higher level though.

Fighters like Graham could easily have long reigns at 154 against the sub-par and washed up opposition that Norris made his name from.Hell, just look at the likes of Galaxy.

Put a guy like Norris at 160 and you have someone that loses every titleshot he gets by knockout.

 

Speculation.

What we do know is, Norris beat better fighters than Graham was able to. Mugabi, Curry, Taylor.

 

Ugh.

Mugabi and Curry were merely names by the time Norris got to them.

Taylor too even.

 

Agreed

But if you ask Redrooster, Norris beat a prime Sugar Ray. :good

 

Those guys were all either totally shot or past their best and way above their best weight.

Norris is as overrated a "champion" as Galaxy.

 

The greatest prime fighter he ever fought was Julian Jackson and we know what happened there. :bbb :hi:
