Norton vs Chuvalo

Ken takes this decision handily. Chuvalo's face would be a mess at the end, but he'd never be in danger of being stopped. Norton was not very good under intense pressure and firepower, but he wouldn't get that from George. This would be played out in the middle of the ring, and loosely resemble the first several rounds of Norton-LeDoux in all likelihood, Kenny outboxing him soundly with his fine skills.

 

Norton. He's the more-skilled boxer, and Chuvalo doesn't have the power to make him fall apart like Foreman and Shavers did.

 

Norton by Knockout.

Kidding. Norton was the much more skilled fighter, and Chuvalo doesn't have the firepower to win the fight off the back off a few good shots. Expect a wide decision in favor of Norton. Chuvalo was game, but that's all really.

 

I agree that Kenny would probably win the decision. I don't think a flash knockdown, by Chuvalo, somewhere along the line, is out of the question, though.

 

I wouldn't rule Chuvalo out in this one at all.

 

Ditto :good

 

Chuvalo might give Norton a heck of a battle. Chuvalo was as strong as Ken, and a good come-forward fighter, he'd push Norton back at times and Norton was less effective like that.

Scott LeDoux could give an over-the-hill Norton a nightmare, I think Chuvalo would give a prime Norton problems too.

It would probably be a tough entertaining fight with both men standing their ground and attempting to force the other back. A slugfest. I'd favour Norton in a close one that goes the distance.

 

Norton by Decision. Kenny uses his jab to perfect and George just quite can't get there.

 

Similar to the Cobb fight. Even if Chuvalo gets him on the ropes like he did against Ali, its not going to help him much.

Norton later in his career could fight off the ropes quite well if you weren't a ATG puncher who could make him stiffen up. He fought beautifully off the ropes against Cobb.

Cobb, for that matter, had as good a chin as Chuvalo and was a very strong man himself. Norton still comfortably outpointed Cobb regardless what the incorrect final scorecard said.

Talent tells and all that.

 

Cobb did not have as good of a chin as Chuvalo and got splattered by Collier. Chuvalo had more than double the fights and much much longer career.

 

Norton points IMO

 

Ken beats George on points, winning 10 out of 15.

 

Chuvalo destroys Norton. Beats him in every catagory. Chuvalo breaks Norton down. Finishes him with left hook. 64 knockouts!!!
