Evander Holyfield .Vs. Ken Norton

Its more 'boxer-fighter' imo, crazy as that sounds! He brawls a lot Holyfield, but sticks to fundamentals enough to be called technically quite good. On this fight i find it quite it hard to pick, by my reckoning Holyfield was slightly higher of level, but Norton likely gets underrated in h2h terms. I'll pick Holyfield's better speed to edge it for him over the long haul, but Norton's great strength could be a factor, he can find Holyfield with his underrated jab and win rounds stepping in with that unorthodox approach of his, Holyfield might not match up well in that respect, but i just think he might pull this one off with some speedy combos getting him a close one. I do think Norton could possibly do this though, being bigger and immensely strong, just i think Holyfield a it better and pulls it off struggling though.

 

I'd lean towards a stoppage win for Holyfield even though he wasn't a particularly powerful puncher. Norton would give him some trouble though, for as long as it lasts.

 

Sharp? Quarry was as flat as a pancake that night! he showed up fat and way out of shape on very short notice.
