    Tyson. Norton lacking the footwork here. Norton was also a guy who could get psyched out. I actually think that was a bigger chink in his armor as opposed to his chin.

    It's become a cliche that Kenny struggled mightily with sluggers but clichés contain kernels of truth. It's hard to not see Kenny being overwhelmed.

    Though I love Ken more, Mike stops him in 2.

    either Tyson will win very quickly or lose at the end... probably a lot depends on your attitude. but in no fight after prison I saw Mike ready for someone like Norton, although the combination of styles favors Tyson.

    Tyson KO2

    Kenny has a hard time dealing with powerful punchers.
