    Okay, but still stopped by Sanders.
    Not out cold. And that's One example. Norton could never take Samuel Peters best shot. Nortons coach said his stance was designed to protect his weak chin.

    That's how weak it was

      First drugging in boxing history I ever heard of was early 1800s England when a fighter refused to throw a fight, they poisoned his water.

      Need to study up on English history…

        Definitely for Cooney! Norton was 35 for Shavers. A bit past his prime. This fight does not mean he had a glass jaw. He was facing an all time puncher and older. His strategy ******. He should have moved early and boxing while doing it especially in the early rounds! Kenny fought many top ten contenders and had a good boxing heart. And good boxing skills and stamina to got 15+ rounds. But he was rather low in boxing IQ They call it ring gereralship.
        Against Shavers you mentioned his strategy. I believe he was either shot or close to it. Consciously I don't think Norton would have went to the ropes the way he did. A shot fighter often will use the ropes to steady or rest their legs. Eddie Futch mentioned this in reviewing Frazier's 2nd bout with Foreman. Joe went to the ropes each round and it eventually cost him.

          ​​​​​​The only famous KO he has is a against Michael Moore who was a glass jaw and Foreman hit two times in succession.
          Foreman hit probably closer to 12. The man was 45 years old and KOd an undefeated heavyweight champion who had never been stopped before. In the 10th round no less. Holyfiled had said Foreman was the most powerful puncher he faced. He faced more than most.

          I've heard some things about George questioned but never his power. That comparable to saying Marvin Hagler wasn't all that determined. He defined the word.

            Emanuel Stewart said the same thing about Wlad in the Klitschko documentary and in interviews, that's why I mentioned him. So, I guess to answer your original question, it would be if someone has decent to good defense, can throw a good 1-2 combo and knows when to hold to avoid big shots. Wlad did a lot of holding as his career went on. I still like him though, even though a lot of others don't. Although I'm more of a Vitali fan. But I respect that someone can be that dominant in any era. I've heard Amir Khan's chin criticized when I still watched boxing regularly too. He had a big punch himself though that he used to stop opponents. So I guess also possessing a big punch that can KO or TKO opponents helps too. Kind of was the case with Tommy Morrison, come to think of it. Used to often be a matter of who would get the stoppage first in most of his fights. The only time he fought smart was against Foreman, when he stuck and moved. The rest of the time it was about smash his opponent in the hope that he gets the stoppage first usually.

                  Maybe it was the Ali famed 'anchor punch.' Lol

                  The guy on the canvas looked a lot like Liston.

                  Looks like he could get up but then went down again.

                  Anchor punch or tank job?

                  Me thinks dive. But you never know in boxing. You never really ever know.
