Kenny Norton Against Marciano? Anyone See Rocky Losing?

The fight is the first Charles fight, and I counted 94, give or take.

The relevance is STAMINA and WORK RATE. Which would help him land the punch.

He wouldn't have to land one punch...he threw an awful lot of them. This is the point of what we are saying.

As for no cruiser knocking Norton out, Ernie Shavers could boil down to cruiser.

As for Norton knocking Marciano out, there is no evidence that this could happen.

 

Is it inciting to say i am enjoying the harder edged Janitor of late?

 

Same. It's about damn time!

 

I've been waiting almost 20 damn years.

God i hope he doesn't get banned

 

Why wouldn't he fold up? He folded up, the second Shavers and Cooney nailed him with a hard one, and any semblance of a game plan went out the window. I don't think he ever truly got over the Foreman KO. Prior to that, when nailed with a hard shot, he remained composed. It's almost like every time a puncher nailed him good, he got flashbacks to Foreman sparking him.

 

If Janitor is banned, we riot!

 

To be fair, he was only knocked out in his prime by Foreman. Zero shame in that.

 

Shavers could go down to cruiser. Then Marciano could go down to Light-Heavyweight. Look at Norton Quarry. Not saying he would knock out Marciano but he’d sure bust him up.

 

Fold up against Marciano? Why would he fold up against a fighter who he could quite comfortably keep on the outside. Cooney and Foreman had the height and reach to match Norton. Shavers had the reach. Marciano didn’t. Norton wouldn’t have to worry about getting tagged unless he stood still right in front of Rocky. And why the hell would he do that?

 

the thing with Marciano too, any one of those 100 punches in round 15 had just as much power as the ones in round 1, unless Norton actually kills Marciano he is gonna keep on pressing

 

I like Marciano in this one but I wouldn't write Norton off.

 

If He boxed him Norton had a hell of shot with his huge reach advantage, strength, speed and his own two handed power .. Rocky would have to get inside before he is busted up ... it's a very interesting fight .. keep in mind there huge size and reach differences ... this is not Foreman or Shavers w 80" reaches here ...

 

I see Norton winning every single time.

 

I have said before that there are people here who believe down to the DNA in their bone marrow that Rocky’s heart and work rate would carry the day if he fought King Kong and Godzilla at the same time.

I don’t disrespect the man, I actually have him No. 5 on my current ATG heavyweight list (which is not solely based on who would beat who H2H). But the hold that this man and his mystique have on some folks and their psyches amazes if not befuddles me. I have some ideas, but I really lack a frame of reference for it other than I guess you had to be there.
