Ken Norton vs Corrie Sanders primes

Especially if Kenny is the road warrior in this. I always wanted to see him > Ali #3 to go to south africa and take on Coetzee or Knoetze. Very dangerous fights & just not convinced Kenny could have pulled off the road warrior position at that stage of his career.

 

Agree would have been fun, because Norton came to fight and so did they.

 

Bad fight for Ken- Corrie fast -hard hitter and southpaw - may be a good fight to wager if the odds favor K.N.

 

Sanders seems to age well in these matches.

It's a shame we didn't see him more at world level. What he did to Wlad is something I will never forget as Wlad is my favourite.

 

Sanders is getting a bit overrated in this thread.

Sure he was talented and dangerous but he only had a very brief moment at world level.

Sanders was only briefly ranked in the top 10 where as Norton was a top 5 Heavyweight for numerous years.

Sanders couldn't put away Rahman who got knocked out by Maskaev twice. And Sanders also got poleaxed by the unremarkable Nate Tubbs with one punch.

Of course Sanders would possess a dangerous match up for Norton but would I heavily favour a very inconsistent fighter ? No. And Norton had a fair dig in his right hand and he could poleaxe Sanders with his right hand aswell like Tubbs did.
