RJ too greem...i can see him leaping in and getting caught...he was more polished and controled in 93 (and more powerful).

154 was Terry Norris's Natural weight. I think it would have been a very good fight but Roy is a natural middleweight and Terry was a natural Jr. middleweight and wouldn't have had to move up in weight to fight him. Norris had a punch first think later type of fight attitude which would probably get him in some trouble with Roy Jones jr. Terry had the tendancy to get careless like when he first faced Simon Brown. If Terry could control himself he probably could neutralize RJJ's speed with his own but he would have to fight a perfect fight like he did on the Simon Brown rematch. In this case since Terry fought at this weight I would have to give the advantage to Terry Norris by UD.

RJ was too quick and too talented. RJ by UD.

I am a Terry fan also and agree that Jones did develope into a better fighter later in his carreer. But veteran Terry Norris fighting a yet unknown Roy Jones Jr. is an interesting match up. Roy going in to this fight looking for a KO would run in to some of Terry's counter punching which was no joke. Remember they would be fighting in Terry's weight class and I really don't remember Roy fighting at this weight... does anyone know if RJJ did?? It would be a hard fight for a young Roy to win cuz he just couldn't go in and out speed him the whole night he would have to pick his shots and also try not to get caught with one himself. I really think this one would go the distance if it happened in 1991 - 1993. I do agree there is no way Terry could have beat him at middleweight, though.

More like Roy Jones too green or too yellow?

no contest..Roy Jones by KO. Norris too small and no chin to boot. He had great boxing skills, but anything he did well, Jones did it better
