    Boxing doesn't work like that.

    What you have to try and understand is that, Wlad being a puncher doesn't mean he could do what another puncher did to Norton.

    Wlad lacks all sorts of other attributes that Foreman had. To blast a guy out like that you've got to be be able to fight. Get hit and not be scared. When Wlad gets hit he panics or just gets brutally knocked out.

    mercer and wlad are two completely different fighters style wise so a mercer vs norton fight would have no relevance to a wlad norton fight

    foreman very limited boxer yes and also totally different to wlad ,wlad uses his jab to punish his opponents at times so de can take them out later in fights foremans jab was used to mostly little effect because he was just
    a destoyer plain and simple also wlad would not go all out for a quick ko like foreman because weather you like it or not wlad is very concerned about getting hit on his chin

    The guys now are just too big for guys like Norton and Frazier.

    You have to take the fight to Norton if you want to beat him impressively as did cooney,shavers and Foreman.

    If Wlad does that paw paw paw paw paw RIGHT paw paw paw paw....what makes you wlad fans think this will be an easy night for him?

    Willard was just a big oaf. He wasn't much better than Shaq. I would pick Pac to KO him, seriously.

    How the **** should Ken Norton "get to Wlad late" ??? Wlad is the definition of a defense-first jab & grab type with a huge reach advantage and strong athleticism to back it up.

    THIS is "prime" Norton, a guy doing wild swings, gets hit easily, and has almost zero setup:

    It takes a fool of epic proportions to think that this guy is good enough to beat a prime Wlad of today who isn't all-offense like when he lost.

    I don't give NOrton much of a chance here, He is no big puncher so even if (and that is a big IF) he lands clean on Wlad, I think Wlad could take it.

    The most likely scenario is that Wlad jabs Norton's face at will, bloodies and KOs him around 5th round.

    no pick em.
    in 2 fights its like :
    Wlad 2(1):0 Norton , the decision coming after a technical boring fight.
    Norton would have been wlad's new girlfriend after their fights ended.

    You obviously don't know the meaning of the word panic. Wlad was hit by illegal rabbit punches from Peter, got up and soon went back to pummeling Peter. He got hit with some good power shots early from Mercer. He took Brewsters flush shots in round three and it didn't affect him. Sanders, yes he lost his composure in a fight for which he was totally underprepared. So what? In most of his fights, Wlad had an incredible amount of control, which isn't possible without serious mental strength. Foreman was a sloppy, shorter, less skilled fighter than Wlad, just with the edge in power. Wlad would easily find Norton's head who would have a very hard time breaking Wlad's control of range.

    OK, maybe Pac was a bit over the line, but Kessler beats him imo.
