Prime Deontay Wilder with no injuries vs Ken Norton of the Ali fights who do you think wins? Norton has better skill and defence. Wilder has size that Norton has never had to deal with before, also speed and extreme power.
I'm not sure if you are allowed to mention Wilder and Norton in the same sentence. I will consult my handbook.
Deontay outboxes him for 7 rounds before brutally turning off his lights when he gets bored toying with him.
wilders inability to defend against the jab is shocking. He really is very lacking in the basics,Wilder.
With the benefits of today's modern nutrition and training, Wilder clowns the malnourished and poorly trained Norton, and then walks him down and destroys him.
thats a very broad sweeping generalisation - what was wrong with Nortons nourishment or training? Wilder is only a few pounds heavier and has FAR less sound boxing fundamentals than Norton. Absolutely no guarantee Wilder wins. The way to beat Norton was to rush him and drive him back (Shavers, Foreman, Cooney). Wilder doesnt fight like that at all.
I'm not huge on boxers from the 70s but Norton would absolutely ice him. Far too much skill and doggishness for him to take. And you just know Wilder is going to try to box with him, lol.
