    This might be interesting.


    I think Ken has a shot here.

    I’d call Razor more competent then Shavers and He could probably punch comparably. Norton might have been past his best but it doesn’t have a bearing really. he didn’t even get to get going with Earnie or Cooney he just got sparked.

    In his early days commentators actually brought up he wasn’t a very hard puncher and that he going to be a great nimble boxer.

    It's not there as an option, but Ruddock by KO. Early.

    I am surprised a bit. I would think Norton gets hit, but survives.

    Razor liked to look at the effects his punches had and give fighters a chance to recover.

    The longer the fight goes the better his chances.
    People forget Kenny had some heavy hands too.
    I say the first 5 rounds is when Ruddock would win.
    After that his ability to win would decrease.

    If Ruddock takes Norton- what are his chances against Holmes?

    Probably looks similar to the Cooney fight
