Ken Norton '73 Vs Lewis 2000

It would be a close fight, but if Ken gets hit clean with a big Lewis uppercut or overhand right, he would probably freeze up and be finished off.

 

Lewis by KO in 1-4

 

Lewis TKO 8th.

 

Lewis by close decision. Ken could get it done if he could catch him and put him to sleep, but out of 10 fights I think LL wins 7 or so of them.

 

Lewis KO6.

Lewis was a great fighter, Norton was not.

 

I love Ken Norton, but this fight is all wrong for him.. Lewis is the clear victor here.

 

His resume shows a history of stylistic difficulty with big punchers. If he didn't blow them out (ie: Bobick, Garcia rematch), he got blown out (Foreman, Shavers, Garcia first fight).

I would expect Lewis to bomb him out as well.

 

All Lewis. I sure don't think the style of Norton is going to help him much against a 6"5" guy like Lewis that moves better and has a jab. Kenny's wide looping right hand from way on the the outside against this guy will see him get beat to the punch. It'll be all over and Lewis is a finisher in there. ko5 and a pretty brutal ko is a possibility.

 

Lennox Lewis gets to him early, Norton almost always lost when matched up against big punchers and Lewis is no exception.

 

true. ken will go to the 7 to 10 round at least but then follows a ko or tko. lewis is in everything a bit better then norton

 

Always hated Lewis.... but he woulda absolutely DESTROYED Norton. Lewis KO 3.

 

newbridge, replied to your vic and bob thread :good

 

Norton would be too intimidated by Lewis' size to get the job done.

For whatever reason Norton had issues fighting big punchers, and could rarely get into the fight. Although this fight on paper is close, I see Lewis eventually dominating and stopping Norton in the mid to late rounds.
