    I suppose this would be an opinion in some cases, but say you can get a Vinny Pazienza signed glove or a Ken Norton signed glove. Which would you get and why? They are older fighters(ish) so I thought this would be the place to ask. Any opinions, views or thoughts would be appreciated.

    Norton's signature would be more valuable. But as a Paz fan myself, I think I'd rather have his autograph, especially if it meant meeting and chatting with him for a while.

    I'd take Norton. One of the prominent Heavyweights of arguably the greatest era for Heavyweights. This is debatable I guess, but I also think he was a better fighter than Pazienza.

    I suppose I could stop being a Jewish cheap ass and just get both... I'm a big Pazienza fan though, and have gone through almost the same auto accident and still fight despite doctors recommendations like he did. That and hes just so much fun to watch... I've never seen Norton fight though so it may be biased.

    Norton. Are you getting one from a memorabilia dealer?

    I'd prefer Norton myself. As someone said earlier, Kenny hailed from the greatest ever era of heavyweights. Not to mention there is some personal bias here as well, being an avid fan of anything 60's-70's.
