    I'd pick Norton, who had more power than Byrd. Ike wouldn't be able to just go through his punches or made him back up consistently and I don't think he'd outbox Norton either.

    To be frank, you don't really offer much to work with.

    Asking me what my point is, after you've already replied to the initial points I made, in response to your thread's question, doesn't help either.

    If you want to dispute the initial points I made then put an actual case forward. Don't just sarcastically refer to Ibeabuchi's best win, as if that makes the case for you.

    I saw Monte Barrett ringside beat the crap out of Tua and drop him. Tua isnt beating Norton either. Tua is lazy and if you have a jab which Norton has a very good one he gets stuck on the end of it like glue. So overrated it's not even funny at this point.

    Styles make fights. In this one Ike overwhelms Norton in 2 or 3 rounds. Ike would beat he living shyte out of Norton..

    He is an utter disappointment but the man was quick powerful and very durable fighting a chinny fighter with no back foot is a recipe for defeat honestly Bob.

    Record breaking workrate in a war against a boxer most consider one of the most durable and demonic punches of all time showcasing an uncrackable chin and boxing timing and KOing one of the best defensive HW boxers of all time.

    These are reasons people are impressed with Ike and why they can believe he would beat a straightforward chinny boxer who has no back peddle and has a poor record against pressure.

    My first thought was to elect the President to win, but Norton is more proven so I'll say Norton wins a decision.
