    I think Norton could take Moorer. He might be able to get past Bruno, I don't know.

    I don't think Moorer would stop Norton. In fact, I'm far more positive about Norton stopping Moorer.

    I've got Norton stopping him late after being behind on the cards.

    And? He destroys Norton anyway. Ridiculous argument, stewart got dropped twice and then started in chicken mode running all the fight to survive, Norton never fought like that

    Stewart made Foreman's whole head swell up like a melon, and held him to an MD. If he fought in 'chicken mode', I'd have hate to see what he could do when he wasn't!

    And Tommy Morrison never fought like that, and he still beat Foreman. Morrison also had an even worse chin than Norton and was as skilled.

    Point being, Old Foreman never destroyed anyone as good as Norton, and loss (or nearly lost) to worse.

    The version of cooney that Foreman destroyed would have raped prime Norton, any version of Foreman destroys any version of Norton, he never had the chin or the style to take this type of Power.

    The thing is, old Foreman had the exact same punching power as young Foreman. He just wasn't as quick and explosive as young Foreman.

    Raped is a strong word.

    You think McCall would decision Norton?? I don't know about that. It seems that the most Oliver could hope for is an errant right hand on Norton's chin. Norton was a far better boxer than Oliver.

    If you truly think that you're seriously deluded.
    Neither did Tommy Morrison, look what happened. Norton vs Old Foreman isn't a foregone conclusion, either could win.

    That could have been a trilogy.

    Morrison could box in mode chicken norton could not. And yes, Cooney would kill norton always, styles and power that he could not overcome

    Don't waste your time, for him all that matters is chin, size and power. Things like boxing skills and defense are not important ;)

    If he likes modern heavyweights with power and chin, he should check out Lamon Brewster! Guy has a super fun career to watch, on top of being everything he could wish for in a fighter. :sisi1
