Why you think? Norton famously struggled with 'power-boxers' (i.e concussive hitters) which I believe Holyfield wasn't. A hard hitter, but no Shavers or Foreman-esque banger. Now, in most objective fans' eyes Norton outboxed Ali for round upon round. What is it about Holyfield's style that makes you think he batters Norton? I think he does, just wonder why you think he does it 'easy'. :good
I think Norton is one of the most overrated heavyweights ever and thats a lot considering he didnt really accomplish a lot. His rep is based on the fact that his style gave Ali lots of problems but beyond that he wasnt that impressive IMO. His other big wins (Quarry and Young) came against a Quarry who he had shamelessly avoided for years before finally facing a completely shot Jerry and his victory over Young was a robbery IMO. His fight with Holmes is for some reason always overrated based on the last couple of rounds but beyond that fact Norton was being totally outboxed by a guy who was not a big hitter and had a badly injured bicep coming into the fight. Im just not terribly impressed with Kenny and Im very impressed with Holy.
