Who would it win?

DLH by KO. Norris glass jaw would fail him.

At 154, DLH is not a terrible puncher. Close fight, I lean towards Norris by decision.

That, provided that Norris fights an intelligent bout (Norris - Brown II). If it's the same Norris who felt in love with his power (Norris - Waters, Norris - Brown I), I don't know.

Norris. He was as fast or faster than DLH and as skilled a boxer when he chose to box. As stated above DLH was no big hitter at 154, nor at 147, really, and I don't know if he'd reach Terry's chin anyway. Norris had 7 or 8 one punch KOs in his career from both hands though the right provided most of them. Norris by UD or sudden KO after the 5th

Norris was great. however, I think he was not as cool, calm and collected as Oscar was during clutch times. Thats the difference........... Norris tended to over react when times got hard in there. That chin could not hold him up as well. It does not matter that ODH was not as big a puncher at 154lbs. He had enough pop to do the job in this fight..........................

Norris far too fast and powerful. I'm talking the 1987-92 Norris (from top contender to pre-Santana). Norris was more skilled than DLH also, better balance, more versatile.

This guy beat future middle champs Quincy Taylor, Jorge Castro and future super middle camp Steve Littles. Only guys who knockled him out in his peak were massive punchers Julian Jackson and Simon Brown.

What has de la Hoya done at 154 to deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Norris? He beat a ruined Vargas and faded down the stretch vs Mosley and avoided Winky and Kamarzin. Norris faced everyone at 154. Sometimes he fucked up, but he beat so many good fighters.

No contest. de la Hoya blows after 8 rounds & would have no way of dealing with Norris late.

I think Norris shaky chin fails him against Delahoya. But for the record Dleahoya never ducked Winky. Did he not lose to Mosly then Mosley fought Winky. Had Delahoya -not beeen robbed in the II Mosley fight, Delahoya would have fought and beaten Winky. But guess what? Delahoya chose a tougher fighter to fight after beating Sturm....thats right Bernard Hopkins.

Winky has promoted himself to have been a ducked fighter but who has he faced now?

He had a chance to face a previously undefeated Ouma and ducked Ouma and when Ouma was set to fight Karmanze all of a sudden Winky wants a part of Ouma who had already signed to fight Karmanze. Winky took a chance on calling out Ouma and it worked in Winkys favor because Karmanze beat Ouma. But I don't hear Winky calling out Karmanze so know lets say Winky is NOW ducking Karmanze.

Winky is sitting on his hands waiting for another big money fight. No problem, just don't say you're getting ducked. Because Winky is the one doing the ducking/sitting on his Trinidad win waiting for the Brinks truck.

Oscar had real championship heart with a great chin. Norris was great on offense but his chin was not up to it. Saying that, Oscar was no KO artist at 147 or 154, so I see a late TKO win for the Golden Boy. He was just as fast, great stamina at his peak and could mix it up when needed...
