    I'm going to humbly suggest that it's been a long time since you watched that fight and misremembered what happened. Wach landed one good punch (a right hand) all night and his jab was a non-factor.

    I would’ve loved to watch Norton fight the version of James Toney who showed up for Holyfield.

    Just refreshed my memory now. Chambers was competitive early and landed the cleaner punches. But it was by no means one way traffic and I think Povetkin's higher volume and physical toughness plumb wore out an underrated Chambers. Povetkin is not the sort of guy that you want to fight in a phonebooth.

    The idea is that Norton would have a good chance of winning if he didn’t trade.

    Marciano is a tricky one, & so are a few others, like Johansson, Bowe, & Klitschko. All of these guys I could see Norton give an awfully hard time, but they might also batter him one-sidedly.
