Lennox Lewis at his best vs Ken Norton at his best

It may take him some rounds but I say Lewis got Norton's number.

 

a) Norton, regardless of his success against Ali and Holmes, will be intimidated, as he always was by huge punchers.

b) The savvy Lewis will certainly know this from the moment the contract is signed.

c) Lewis crushes an immediately "backing up" Norton, very probably within the first stanza.

 

Lewis v Grant anyone?

 

I agree with that funnily enough. Norton beat Ali and pushed Holmes to the wire so this fight will be competitive. Lewis' best chance would be early but the longer the fight goes the better Norton's chances. I fancy Norton by late round stoppage.

 

Not sure if Mr Warren s still around to get back to this, but any way.. If Lewis comes out like he did against golata, Grant, ruddock or botha then it's light s out for Ken imo in the second.

 

All these fantasy match ups are obviously prime for prime i take it? Prime Lewis jumps on Kenny from the off for an early KO/stoppage. I like kenny but feel this is a bad match up for him

 

Lennox with Emanuel Steward would do there homework and realize
that Kenny was vulnerable to big punchers and could be iced early.
Lewis would jump on Norton like he did against Golota and Grant.
Lewis ko in 2 rds.

 

Lewis bombs him out without any difficulty.Lennox would have no reason not to be the aggressor here and Norton could not fight backing up.Norton doesn't have the power to ko Lewis but the reverse is definitely true. Lewis took Vitali's punches ,and he would have no trouble taking Norton's. ko win for L.L inside 5 rounds. Not a quick starter? 19 wins inside the first 4 rounds out of a total of 44 fights!

 

Norton was vulnerable to murderous punchers such as Foreman and Shavers, both of whom were above Lewis in terms of power and Ruddock, Golota and Grant were not in the same league as a Kenny Norton.
Lewis could catch Norton early but Kenny had a tight defence and i don't think he gets blasted out, he works his way slowly into the fight and wears down a flagging Lewis possibly stopping him late on. Of course i do stand to be corrected but i feel this would be a close call with either fighter capable of getting the win.

 

Lewis' power is absolute top tier, lets not kid ourselves. He would murder Norton and that's no disrepect to Kenny. Put him in with anyone not above Ali and Holmes for punching power and he's hell on wheels. Well, maybe the back ones drag just a little but still.

 

Norton had a way about him of giving boxers hell, I don't think Ali ever really beat him in 3 fights, and many think Norton beat Holmes. Lewis ain't getting rid of Norton. Kenny's style was hard to fathom in a 15 rounder Lewis may tire out. It's a close decision either way

 

Lewis would be too much for him. Probably finish him like he done Grant. An uppercut up the middle , much later in the fight though. Norton would nick a few rounds and look good before the end came.

 

disagree..One shot power Rachman is probably heavier or just as heavy as anyone graced a ring. Lennox could get this over with in 1 ala Golota

 

Grant? he was about as good as Cary Grant

 

Lewis knocks them out with the overhand right. He would have a lot of trouble landing that punch against Norton defense.I see this as a boxing match, both men had good jabs. Could go either way really.
