    Great Scott, this is heavy! Kenny’s got the keys to the DeLorean. How does he do against this past & future list?

    Wlad Klitschko
    Jack Dempsey
    Gene Tunney
    Lennox Lewis
    Jack Johnson
    Riddick Bowe

    “You know that new sound you been lookin’ for? Well listen to this!”

    The thump of Norton’s head hitting the canvas against Dempsey provides the basis for the ‘doof doof’ era.

    I’m not 100% sold on him beating Johnson. That guy had stamina and power and could linger in a ring until the next coming of Christ

    Admittedly don't know much about Johnson but remember him having a very low output. He's gonna need more than that to keep Norton off him. Of course I could very well be wrong and often am. :lol:

    I am probably most intrigued by Norton v Johnson amongst the whole bunch.

    He would be competitive with virtually every champion who preceded him and would have whupped some of em.

    I can’t see him making much of a fight of it against Dempsey or Liston, but to each his own.

    Lennox would annihilate him. Anyone else he would have a good chance against.

    He would lose to all of them for a variety of reasons he was in his perfect era and he wouldn’t hop in the DeLorean to go box.

    I edited it to virtually with Liston in mind. There's lots of champions who preceded him he would be at least a pickem or favorite
