Pinky really was not much of a Ko puncher, and his chin was not that much better than Norton's. I think this would be a close fight. The difference is Norton had a good left and right, as well very good body shots. Thomas was something of a one handed fighter with good left, and average right hand. Best guess is Norton wins a close on points.

Thomas has a much, much better chin.

Watch the shots he took from Tyson without going down. He was basically a punching bag for Holyfield, who landed flush combinations for 7 rounds but couldn't put him down either.
Norton would've been knocked out and early if he took that kind of punishment.

1. Pinky could bang like hell when he wanted to..
2. Pinklon was dropped by no one before Tyson and even then he had to almost be nailed to the floor by a barrage of unstoppable shots..

Pinklon by a close decision.. but could have gone either way....

Pinks Jab could win this fight for him..
