    Norton had a glass chin and had no tools to keep Tyson away from him. Tyson by brutal, early KO.

    what in your opinion equates to a glass chin?
    I mean, to my knowledge Norton was only KO'd by big hitters. I sincerely hope you don't associate with being Knocked out by big punchers with having a "glass chin" ...that'd just be silly :nono

    we are talkin about Tyson here and he woudl have tko'd Norton in first. Tyson all ways intimidated opponents before fights and jumped on them early when at his best he finished those with shaky chin. and do never compere tyson to bobick

    Norton would check out like the rest of Tyson's 80's opponents and early.

    It would like the beating P.Thomas received.

    Come on dude there is nothing to debate here. With that chin of his and Mike's speed and power there was no way Norton would have seen the second round.

    Norton with Futch in his corner would be a nightmare for Tyson !

    Futch can teach Norton everything in the book but he's not gonna fight for him. With Tyson's speed, this will be quicker than the Foreman fight. Norton was a good fighter but he was no technician. Add his suspect chin to the equation and you have a Berbick type of ending. This matchup would have gone no more than two rounds.

    Again. Correct me If I'm wrong..and I doubt I am on this one. But how was is chin "suspect" when he was only KO'd by big punchers?

    Please do explain.

    Norton had a suspect chin. Once a big puncher connected his chin everything including Futch's strategy goes out the Window. Remember what Tyson once said, "everybody got a plan until the get hit":hey

    Stylistically this is a mismatch.
