Ken Norton stopped Ali in his tracks , but Norton was given a beating by Foreman ! How would Kenny Norton fair if he was around today would he dominate ? or would he struggle against the big Russians ? This content is protected
Neither. He would not dominate, but nor would he lose to all of the Russian or non-Russian top raters. I think he beats Valuev, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Peter, Toney, etc. He loses to both Klit bros.
They're good enough to beat him. Wladimir is a better boxer, with a better jab and one punch knockout power. What does Norton have to give him problems? Wladimir with 10. Vitali is probably a more winnable fight for Norton. He could outbox Vitali, but I'm not sure whether his chin could last 12 rounds against a guy who will be throwing hard shots throughout the fight.
Norton would do well against all current heavies. His fitness, strength and mobility would allow him to walk in with any man. A good match for Holy 10 years ago.
The man who broke Ali's jaw would get beat by Klitschkos?? I'm not sure if you understand boxing at all! But look at both legacys and look at both styles and weight etc then make your decision !
Ken never did well aginst big guys who hit hard (Foreman, Cooney). He would have little chance against either klit.
I'd love to see Norton vs Samuel Peter. I'm guessing he'd beat the living **** out of the oaf like he did Ron Stander. One sided drubbing.
With certain fighters, I love em'. Norton could be a ******* in there. Look at what he did to Quarry when he was mislead into believing he made racist comments before their fight. Almost killed him. Stander got it even worse. Not to mention breaking Ali's face. If you couldn't put Norton out quickly you were in for a haaaaard night.
