    Norton would land about 70% of his punches and would eventually wear Wardley down for a stoppage.

    Sometimes people say things to me like "Why make obviously disingenuous remarks on a boxing forum?" and I say things like "I am not a psychologist."

    Norton sticks The jab in Fabio’s face and eventually wears him down to a stoppage.

    Really? I mean, at his peak, Ken Norton was like 210 pounds for his Ali win. Wardley weighed 242 against Parker. Class tells over time.

    50/50 Norton was chinny but Wardley looks terrible against less skilled heavyweights Norton could box his head off and survive some scares

    Norton would need to work especially hard to lose this.

    Do you realize what a boxing nerd you even have to be to know who Ken Norton is? As opposed to Wardley?

    I'm going with Norton, likely a stoppage. The Dubois fight kinda gave the blueprint for beating Wardley with a jab and overhand - and it's not like Dubois has an iron jaw himself and he's much easier to hit than Norton.
