View Full Version : Holyfield vs. Norton redxl7 10-14-2006, 07:51 PM Both men in their prime, how could you guys see a match between Evander Holyfield and Ken Norton going? Dye 10-14-2006, 07:53 PM Holyfield would win Southpaw Stinger 10-14-2006, 07:56 PM Tricky one. Norton gave non hard punchers hell! Look at the trouble a shot Norton gave a prime Holmes, his aggressive counterpunching style always troubles guys who like to box. This is a close call. number6 10-14-2006, 08:02 PM Holyfield wins this one, more than likely a ud. Dye 10-14-2006, 08:02 PM i think Holyfield is one of the best heavy's of all time but thats just me number6 10-14-2006, 09:15 PM i think Holyfield is one of the best heavy's of all time but thats just me Thats not such a bad claim when you look at his record/accomplishments/level of opposition. Dye 10-14-2006, 10:04 PM Thats not such a bad claim when you look at his record/accomplishments/level of opposition. i believe he would have knocked bowe out in the 3rd fight if it werent for hepeatitis or something it made holyfield have energy gains and loses joeytrimble 10-14-2006, 10:11 PM its not a bad claim at all and i agree dynamite... as for holyfield vs norton i see it going down if you can imagein ..as a glorifyed version of the holyfield vs dokes fight ...holyfield would win via late stoppage hemichromis 10-15-2006, 06:35 AM this is a tought one both big and both strong they could both probaby take each others punches all night long but i think the higher workrate would come from holyfield holyfield by UD but probablky a close one OASIS_LAD 10-15-2006, 10:26 AM norton's dodgy chin and holyfield's heart would be the deciding factors in this fight holyfield by late stoppage hemichromis 10-15-2006, 04:30 PM norton's dodgy chin and holyfield's heart would be the deciding factors in this fight holyfield by late stoppage norton could probably take holyfields punches all night he was only really troubled by real big hitters, alot like frasier in that repsect OASIS_LAD 10-15-2006, 04:38 PM norton could probably take holyfields punches all night he was only really troubled by real big hitters, alot like frasier in that repsect i agree holyfield was hardly a power puncher but as the match wore on i can see the amount of punches holyfield lands begining to hurt and norton being dispirited as he sees that holyfield will not bow down so i'll still stick with holyfield by late stoppage T.N.T 10-16-2006, 12:47 PM I think this would be a fantastic fight both so so strong i dnt think norton had a bad chin if u look at the punches he had 2 take wen he did get knocked out he had a good right hand himself and Holyfield had a very good hook in his prime i dnt no wot happens. Maybe Holyfield by UD. Dempsey 1919 10-16-2006, 03:55 PM Holyfield by sd. Hard Boiled HK 10-17-2006, 02:01 AM Norton by UD. M26 10-19-2006, 07:58 AM Evander Holyfield would be a handful, but I believe Ken Norton would be victorious in this fight. His biggest drawback was his tendency to "freeze" against heavy hitters, and Holyfield was no heavy hitter. Against boxers, Norton was not an easy foe. He gave an ageing Muhammad Ali hell in three fights, and proved his style to be more than awkward. I think he would be able to get the nod from all three judges against Holyfield, after a hardfought and actionpacked fight.
