Oh lord, this one rly could have happened in winter of 87, in between Cooney and Tyson. Milking that title even further....
I don´t think so. If a fight like that happened today at their respective career point, nobody would cry for that.
You could argue that Frazier had a stylewise handicap and was a bit past it, fine. But Norton? This guy was versatile and in his prime. Maybe not...
@Money22 WB Money! It looks like you´re starting your posts more carefully, i.e upper-casing. Thats good! But halfway through the finish, you´re...

Good post. Physically, there wasn´t much of a problem for him. Mentally and style-wise (without that turning point in his life) I don´t think...
Hi Tim, we have a thread asking if the 80s Heavyweights could beat George Foreman of The Rumble in the Jungle, 1974....
No problem with that. Since the fellows above aren´t a) good boxers plus b) size of Ibeabuchi, I stay with my conclusion.
Ibeabuchi not only outthrew & outlanded Byrd, he left him drewling in round 5. Adjust your glasses. Byrd did not win, nor was in the position to...
Maybe you watch that one again. Byrd was clueless on the run, until one of these sledgehammers found its target.
