I’d call Razor more competent then Shavers and He could probably punch comparably. Norton might have been past his best but it doesn’t have a bearing really. he didn’t even get to get going with Earnie or Cooney he just got sparked.
In his early days commentators actually brought up he wasn’t a very hard puncher and that he going to be a great nimble boxer.
I am surprised a bit. I would think Norton gets hit, but survives. Razor liked to look at the effects his punches had and give fighters a chance to recover.
The longer the fight goes the better his chances. People forget Kenny had some heavy hands too. I say the first 5 rounds is when Ruddock would win. After that his ability to win would decrease.
