Ken Norton Or Max Baer -?

Baer came from the brutal past and would be Nortons brutal future by the 3rd

 

On resume I think Norton’s greater.
A win against Ali trumps Baer’s Schmeling win and are we really putting the Carnera one in there?
Head to head unless he got careless and let Baer unload on him I honestly think this is a walk in the park for Norton.
A huge gulf in class here and apart from landing the big one I don’t see what Baer brings to the table that troubles Norton.

 

I narrowly selected Norton. But I can understand those who might go the other way. Baer was a true linear heavyweight champion who beat quite a few ranked guys including two champs in Schmeling and Carnera. I guess I leaned towards Ken because the Ali win was huge along with decent victories over Young, Quarry, Clark, Bobick and Cobb. That and he retired with fewer defeats. Close call though.

 

No penicillin yet. Bad time to be sleeping around, might get something incurable.

 

I cannot deny that is a very valid point, but it would not be fair to the young ladies to deny them some KernowWarrior loving, though if Max advised me to not try my luck with a lady who he wanted himself, i would heed that advice, as not even penicillin cures a broken jaw.

 

Jerry Quarry would have beaten Max prime for prime, Maxie clowned too much , should have been the fourth stooge, Norton in his real prime was a top 70's hw and thats saying something. Norton could also hit, I'm going with a fifth or sixth round stoppage. Max 's home run right hand is his only chance in this one, Norton's jab was also quick, hard, accurate, and first rate.

 

Norton was the better boxer, Baer would have struggled with any top 10 heavy during the 70`s.

 

Thanks Buddy., same to you.

 

True, Penicillin was invented in 1939.
