Jr Middleweights: Terry Norris vs Wilfred Benitez

Post by elmersalsa »

Terry Norris made 19 title defenses in 3 reigns of the WBC Jr middleweight title. Wilfred Benitez won his third world title at this weight being only just 23 years old. Who wins?

Norris was a hell of a fighter,but he had a horrible chin. Benitez, though not the biggest of punchers could have hurt Norris and when it comes to pure boxing Benitez was one of the best!

I don't recall Wilfred as being especially impressive at 154 or 147:

L15 Ray Leonard

W15 Carlos Santos

L15 Thomas Hearns

Ko by 2 Moore

Koby 9 Hilton

It's Norris who wins this one easy. Only way he loses is by disqualification.

Prime Benitez lost to Hearns and SRL. Norris not on that level. Benitez would either stop him like he did Hope or decision him.
