    Yeah, I think I was too busy looking at Pattersons awesome 'fro that I forgot to pay attention to his fighting style.

    That happens a lot... David Tua also fought like Larry Holmes right?

    On a serious note though, is now a good time to randomly post this clip again?

    Thank god for that!

    Plus Larry Holmes' fighting style is basically the only one I know, so I just compare every boxer ever with him.

    For instance Harry Greb... now there is a Larry Holmes if I ever saw one.

    IIIII don't think I quite believe that. Anyway, isn't that hot MILF from Little House on the Prairie kind of underrated? I mean, everyone looks ordinary next to friggin' Wonder Woman but get her away from WW and she's...pretty MILFY. I think. I get solid just watching her at that butter churn, I'm not ashamed to say.

    ...I'll do some research, see what I turn up. But that clip should be a good start.

    Norton never got off the floor to win against class competition.. Patterson did.

    Norton never stopped an ATG or a very good fighter. Floyd stopped ingo and beat much better fighters then Norton did.

    Like I said, Floyd will go to the body and when he does he will hurt norton. Floyd is too fast and hits to hard against a chinny guy like norton.

    I tend to think that even if Floyd gets knocked down or hurt by norton he will come back as he did in the bonavena fight, Chuvalo, Ellis, Ali II, johannson, bonavena, Harris, and quarry. he came back to win most of these fights. norton never proved he could come back after getting hit hard by a fighter like Floyd.

    In a series I give norton 1 Floyd 2

    Boxed Ears;

    Who wins this match
    Lynda Carter 'Wonder Woman' vs. Julie Newmar 'Cat Woman'

    I still see Pete Rademacher knocking Floyd down, and hurting him a couple of more times
    with that amateur straight-up style.
    Could this fight end up as a 12-round Draw.

    I can just hear Howrd Cosell repeating;

    Down goes Newmar, Down goes Newmar, Down goes Newmar
    Its just 'target practice' for 'Wonder Woman'
    That ***** can Hit.

    Maybe Norton just wins a close decision,,,,,that seems the logical choice.

    I am with Bokaj and Mr. Magoo in this one

    Sure floyd was a skilled fighter, but he was not at the same level than Ali and Holmes. I am confident that my man, Kenny, will be able to frustrate and negate Floyd in the same way he did Ali and Holmes (partially)

    VERY faded? When Norton beat him the first time? ...Because I think first comeback Ali hands every one of Floyd's opponents during his reign, their ass. He was VERY faded by the time he fought Shavers and Young, but after his loss to Norton he dethroned George Foreman and beat Frazier twice. He wasn't too faded at all, imo. Slightly faded, a little less speed and reflex. But a little less than the absolute elite. He could clearly spare it.
