prime norris vs prime ODLH @ 154

Norris by domination, not only is 154lbs his weight class, he has too much speed and skill. Hoya isnt a massive puncher either, especially at this weight

 

Replay of Norris-Leonard. Terry's handspeed would have Oscar baffled.

 

nono Your crazy!!Norris was very fast but Oscars speed is very close to Norris in fact,probably on par,Norris might have the edge in power at this weight,but we know who has the better chin. Oscar wins this by 9th or 10th round knockout being slightly behind on the scorecards,with a couple knockdowns being scored on both sides.

 

No his speed is nowhere near on par to Norris's, lets not forget Oscar only operates in straight lines and is easy to read by elite boxers

 

You are outta your head if think Oscar was as fast as Norris.

 

:? Besides mayweather no one outboxed Oscar,and if you think about it oscar beat himself that nite,He forget about the Jab that was working fine for him. Hopkins was just to big. The Mosley fights were close,but Oscar deserved the 2nd one. The whittaker fight was not controversial like some people say, Oscar won that fight 116-112 on my card.

 

Oscars Hands were very fast !!

 

nah, im not sure. norris to me anyways was much faster. travelling from a-b i think oscar could edge it but at 154 he seemed much slower. also norris combinations blaze a different hemp. different level. look at his fight with mel taylor. taylor could possibly be the fastest fighter in terms of handspeed in a long time. norris is keeping up with him very well if not beating him to the punch.


i dunno hoya at 154 i think was pretty average. good but at elite level he looked ropey. norris has everything and more....maybe a weak chin but i dont see oscar being the puncher to stop him.

 

Oscar might not have been the big puncher he was at the lighter weights but he still had a good power at jm,definetly good enough to knock out China chin Norris.

 

Oscar did a job on Castillejo, and ktfo'd Vargas and Mayorga at 154. I'd say he has the power to take Norris out. Oscar is a better boxer than most people give him credit for. I could see him catching up to Norris Oscar is a much tougher fighter and a great closer of fights.

Norris by comfortable UD, he's a bigger and faster man at 154.

 

Oscar's hands were very fast from 135-147. His handspeed fell off at 154. Norris was faster. Not only of hand, but Terry was just far more athletic overall. A big factor in this fight is that Norris had excellent stamina, whereras Oscar didnt. Terry would beat him up in the later rounds.

 

And Norris stopped Mugabi, Meldrick Taylor, Curry, Blocker and battered Leonard senseless. Norris was Roy Jones at this weight, ask Rooster :yep Seriously though Oscar got outboxed by Quartey, Whitaker, Mayweather, Mosley in his time, Norris has an offense thats twice as good as those men
