    Norton seemed to be the stylistic foil to slick boxers without monstrous punching power. He gave Ali some of his toughest battles and fought prime Holmes to a near standstill.

    But Fury is much bigger than Ali or Holmes. How does this play out?

    I think Kenny pushes Fury and makes him sweat. He'll be there at the end but it's Fury s hand raised.

    Fury via UD or mid-to-late KO/TKO after having to resort to desperate grappling, rough-housing tactics. He gets frustrated that Norton is outboxing him like Pajkic, Cunnigham & Wallin were. Smaller men with technical ability always trouble Fury. As he can't outbox Norton, nor hurt him significantly enough with his power, he does what he does best - uses his size & physical strength to overwhelm, overpower & eventually stop a tired, worn down Norton or hustle out a decision.

    The underrated Norton out-hustles and outboxes Fury for a UD.

    I don't see Fury looking good against Norton win or lose.

    Fury wears him down and Chinny Kenny checks out around round 6.

    Norton did take the best that Ali and Holmes could throw his way.

    Norton has done well against a slippery fighter in Ali but Fury has not fought anyone who is prepared to punch round after round for 15 rounds. I don't think Fury can hurt Norton and so this fight does not get stopped early. Norton does what Wilder couldn't do which is hurt Fury and not have rounds where nothing happens. Norton is too intense for Fury and will always be there throwing punches back all night long.

    Norton via stoppage.

    I reckon Norton would be a fairly tough out for Fury. Not saying Fury can't win, but he'd have to work for it.

    Wilder hurt Fury, he just couldn't do much more.
