Thank you very much !

 

Wow this is a good one. They didn’t fight because they were friends as show Norton was a sparring partner. We can compare what other opponents did with Frazier to Norton. Ken couldn’t box like Ali and he was the force of nature that Foreman was.
So we have Bonavena Chuvalo Quarry Ellis all of whom wer able to hit Frazier solidly early in their fights. Then they all faded he was too strong for Ellis and too much stamina for the rest. Norton compares well to those 4 size power and speed wise. He might do more early and hurt Frazier that could have a lasting effect even though Frazier normally gets stronger. Norton has the height weight and strength to hang in there. I think this goes to the score cards Frazier maybe edges him. He’s more tough intense and super stamina.

 

I don't think there's a lot of difference between this Norton, and any other top version. He was super in this, he was super in Ali III. The Foreman KO didn't seem to affect him. Thoughts?

 

My man Kenny is out of his deep here.

Sure he is game and gonna keep things interesting for a while. But Frazier's relentless pressure would be too much to overcome.

Frazier late stoppage.

 

Anthony Burgess was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in 1959. He died in 1993. No kind of fight, if a fight it truly is, is completely predictable. Now, with that said...Joseph J. Frazier beats the crap out of Kenneth S. Norton.
