Mike Tyson vs. Ken Norton.

It's a shame people questioning Norton's punch resistance in this thread. He had a good chin, just not an elite chin and couldn't handle those with elite power (Foreman, Shavers).

I'll follow the consensus and pick Tyson within 2

 

As much as I admired Ken,I can only see an early Tyson victory here. Styles maketh the fight,and Tyson's was all wrong for Norton. Ken was a far tougher opponent for Muhammad Ali than Tyson would have been,imo,but Mike would blitz Ken every day of the week.

 

Oh well,I'll have to sort one out then,won't I ?

 

:huh Not sure how much relevance an avatar has,but there you go

 

Tyson on points

 

Poor Norton.

 

Tyson blasts Norton out of there early. Norton's track record against punchers is not so good.

 

Wind from Tyson's punches KOes Nortnon cold

 

Tyson by KO inside of 7. I'm thinking 5th round to be honest.

 

Tyson KO 1. Kenny gets pummeled.

 

Norton was bad with stong punchers he needed a guy he could box and didnt have a lot of power, Tyson ko2

 

Tyson ko very bad opponent for norton

 

Dont worry, if you read his posts, he mentions the same thing in every single one

 

If Shavers could stop Norton then a harder puncher and much better finisher in Tyson would obliterate him.

 

Don't forget prime Tyson was also much quicker, quicker on the feet, heavier, better handspeed, better stamina, better chin.
