    I think this Norton has a chance here. He was a good boxer. His jab and body attack was similar to Holyfield's and hit hard enough to get Lewis respect or catch him when his ego is thinking no lottery punches here.

    If you ask me, Norton's a better fighter than either Rahman or McCall and his chin is not worse than Rahman's

    What are Kenny's chances to upset?

    Nah, if Lewis lands that one big shot, it is lights out for Norton. He lost to every puncher he faced.

    Lewis by KO, early.

    If Lewis shows up lazy Norton could make a fight of it but he'd eventually get stopped. The version of Lewis that battered Golota would crush Norton.

    I think that result had a lot to do with Golota having a break down in his dressing room before the fight.

    I'm discussing Lewis' mindset going into that fight. Lewis could be a destroyer when he wanted to. Grant and Ruddock can attest to that as well, among others.

    If Lewis comes out guns blazing, Norton isn't going to last long.

    I foresee a ko for Kenny as he lies prostrate upon the canvas, courtesy of a Lewis right cross

    It doesn't take long

    Agreed. When Mendoza doesn't like a fighter, his logic becomes complete ****.

    Norton loses, but maybe he lasts longer than many think.

    I think Norton is a live underdog here. He hit hard and had a looping overhand right that Lewis might catch. If Norton could put Lewis on the back foot he has a decent chance.
