    Kenny gets backed up from the opening bell.
    and he won't last long against the kinds of punches Dempsey threw. The accuracy. This would be like a Mike Tyson lite match for Norton and who would pick Kenny over Iron Mike?

    Norton KO in 5.

    Simply out athletes the plucky Lil guy .

    Norton beat Ali... three times according to many.

    Dempsey beat... uh ... some really good boxers, I'm sure.

    How many fast ,aggressive, all time punchers did Norton ko?

    A 188lbs Jose Garcia a plucky Lil guy,versus 212lbs Athletic Norton.

    I don’t think that you believe this in your own heart.

    I think a fast starting puncher with Dempsey's power, speed and skill is the wrong opponent for Ken Norton.

    If Dempsey comes in the size he did in his career, I'd be surprised to see him succeed against a natural athletic HW beast such as Norton.

    Allow him to bulk up by a stone or so and I'd certainly favour him.
