Who wins out of these too clever boxers? Neither guys chin was great but then again neither were extremely heavy hitters.

Who takes it?

floyd was a heavier hitter than norton i think, but this could go either way, floyd was more aggressive in most of his fights, like tyson, and norton was a good counter puncher, but neways i still pick floyd cause hes got the kangaroo punch, kangaroo>joo

Floyd was faster and the hevier hitter. He waould swarm all over Norton and knock him out in 8.

it'd all depend if norton used his size to his advantage

which he probably wouldnt and he'd lose via ko

Floyd Patterson was the faster fighter of the two, and he was a better boxer than Ken Norton. This could give him the advantage.

How ever, Pattersons chin was made of glass, and Norton could deliver a solid punch in his prime. Granted, Nortons chin wasn't great either, but I believe he could withstand Pattersons punches. It was the real heavy hitters that gave Norton most trouble.

I see Patterson taking an early lead on points, using his speed to control Norton. After a few rounds, Norton finds his rythm and wins by late stoppage.
