    Would be an interesting one. Close too.


    I've a feeling that Ken would get a decsion which would be clear but close. As has been so often said - To beat Norton you had to be a heavy puncher that could consistently move him back or a master boxer such as Ali and Holmes and even then it would n't be a certainty.


    Buster did n't hit as hard as a Foreman or was at the level of Muhammad and Larry.

    Douglas easily... Douglas boxed all his life Norton started late and was no way as good a boxer as Douglas and facing the Douglas of that night wouldn't be an easy fight for any heavyweight becuase you have to deal with an excellent technicial boxer, with size, speed and power, easily in the best shape of his life physically and mentally.
