    I love Ken Norton but I struggle to see any realistic pathway to victory for him here. He wasn’t an outside boxer like Holmes and nor was he an iron chinned brawler like Holyfield. In addition to being the larger man, Riddick Bowe had a good inside fighting game, solid chin and good power. I can see Ken getting bullied and backed up until he eventually folded. He’d probably last longer against Bowe than he did against foreman and maybe even win a round or two. But ultimately I think he’s getting stopped.

    I think this fight would be like another Bowe-Dokes type result.
