Spinks 85 Vs Norton 73?

Norton peek a boo style and fighting in a crouch and being aggressive while
laying on the ropes made him vulnerable to big punchers. Spinks fought a
similar style in Braxton and won on points. However Norton is bigger ,
stronger, hit harder and was a natural hw and this would be the
difference. Norton on points.

 

norton by stoppage late

 

Norton would win this with a late stoppage indeed in the mix.

 

Two of my favorites, both called 'awkward' and possessing dangerous overhand rights. Norton did well against boxers in general, and he'd have all the physical advantages here. I think he'd probably win by decision.

 

As much as I love the Jinx I'm having a hard time figuring out how he'd win this. Strangely enough these were BOTH guys with awkward styles so lord only knows what this fight would look like or how the judges would score it. As others have already mentioned, Norton was the bigger stronger man with an excellent track record against skilled boxers which is why picking Michael is so difficult. Perhaps if Spinks could manage to land enough of those solid right hands he might get lucky, but his true level of power above 200 was a question never really answered. For now I have to go with Ken.

 

Norton by ko late. Competitive early then Kens strength and body blows take control.

 

Painful affair for Spinks en route to a late stoppage for Norton.

 

I also see a late stoppage for Norton. Not often the views are so unanimous

 

First time he catches Spinks solidly, the end would come soon.This ain't an aging Holmes, Norton beat Ali at least 2of the 3 fights clearly.

 

The latter scenario,definitely. Norton catches up with Spinks and stops him anytime between the sixth and tenth.

 

Yeah, Ali's real bogeyman imo not frazier. Ali couldn't do anything with him

 

Don't forget when Holmes came into the rematch in top shape (for his age and career stage) he really should have got the decision as well.
