Kenny Norton Vs Pinklon Thomas ?

Norton stops Thomas in 10.

Thomas never had the balls (or jab) of an Ali or Holmes, but he could take massive punishment.

I see Thomas learning early on that his jab has limited effectiveness on Norton. Norton gives cruel body punches from the beginning, and after awhile Thomas is reduced to pawing with the left (he just isn't landing it flush or accurately often enough), trying the right (mostly missing or parried), and holding. All this does is subject him to further body punishment.

Norton times Thomas' pawing lefts and his overhand right starts landing flush, happens again and again, each one more obviously injurious to the Pink One. Thomas is making horrible grimaces whenever Norton hooks his body, he can't keep either hand up much anymore. He's getting brutally beaten around the ring for too long before the ref stops it.

 

Norton is not stopping Thomas who had an iron chin it took a peak Tyson like 20 unanswered punches to finally put Thomas down.

I can see Norton winning on points as he was good at dealing with outboxers and especially good at neutralising good jabs.

But Thomas would make it competitive and would win the early rounds with his shotgun jab until Norton's extra conditioning takes over in the 2nd half of the fight.
