    I only disagree on three. I believe Dempsey stops Norton within 3, Eubank decisions Kessler and Adamek on a close decision over Jirov. The rest are cool.

    Hello scar tissue. I agree that the eubank and the jirov fight s could go either way for sure but i dont think dempsey beats norton. Norton was better maybe not as brutal but also a lot bigger bloke too

    Very true, but Dempsey was explosive out of the gate and Norton's chin wasn't that good against this type of fighter, thus I go with Dempsey early in what could be a shoot-out. Tunney-Norton could be a great fight. Norton excelled against this type of fighter (Ali, Young, Holmes) and they were all great fights.

    true but i still think in a war nortons better punching and size would get to jack. Great fight it wouldve been dont forget it took a peak foreman to beat noeton. He was over the hill when cooney stopped him

    Dempsey ko 1 Dempsey was a very fast starter, Norton crumbled against hard punchers and Dempsey hit hard but was extremley fast as well, against boxers Norton had a chance but against punchers none really horrible for Norton.
