    Liston would have him outta there in less than 2 rounds.

    Liston would first hurt Norton during the refs instructions. You think foreman's staredown froze him..

    Looks like you guys don't have a lot of faith in Kenny Boy, do you? :think

    Liston for sure, his style is bad news for Norton.

    After the weigh-in, and Liston put the "evil-eye" on Norton, it would be all over for Kenny.

    Even Ali said Liston was a very "scary" man.....and Ali had the advantage of the fight being in the ring with rules.

    You cant help thinking Foreman Shavers Cooney when thinking about this fight. Liston was certainly at that level.

    He was a great fighter, but he had certain limitations. Forced to fight backward against a big puncher, he was toast. Liston would have bombed him out quick due to that.

    I'm not sure a single person would favor Norton.
