    Two very awkward boxers. Spinks won the title on a close decision and Norton lost two title attempts on close decisions against Ali and Holmes.

    Who wins?

    I can see Spinks stopping Norton late.

    Norton would catch up with Spinks,around the seventh or eighth,and stop him.

    Let's be serious. Norton is not being stopped by Spinks.

    I think spinks beats norten any day of the week, and a stoppage is a decimate possibility

    Two of my favorite fighters of all time. A great match-up between two awkward styles. Spinks has a chance, but I think most likely Kenny would be too physically strong and would wear him down, though he'd have to be very wary of the JINX.
