Is Ken Norton stylistically the worst matchup for either Klitschko?

As I said, theres no reason why Bowe couldn't knock 'anyone' out.
I can scarcely believe that there is not a scutch of young heavyweights out their training their behinds off to become the next big thing in world heavyweight boxing. The man who beats both Klitschkos will make a fortune!

Ken Norton was able to get past Ali and Holmes, I doubt he'd have much a problem doing the same to Wlad or Vitali, who's jabs aren't half as quick as Ali or Holmes.
Norton was also in incredible shape, going 15 rounds easy and was a strong guy, so while he would face a disadvantage being smaller, he would not be bullied inside like fighters today are, and would not be worn down over 12 rounds by their size. Once he did get inside, he would have the clear advantage.
Is there a worse match up for the Klitschkos then Ken Norton?

Actually I think they are the worst style match up for Tyson. Tyson never looked great against big and tall Heavyweights that could neutralize his attacks by clinching inside. Even if Tyson beat either one he wouldn't look good doing it.

I dont think so. Either Klitschko is made for a fighter who can slip their pawing jabs, get inside and detonate with hooks. Everytime I watch either of their fights I find myself shouting at the TV 'slip that lazy pawing jab, and hook'. But none of these big lump challengers seem to have the reactions or handspeed to even attempt it.
Tyson was excellent at slipping and hooking, one good example is the knockout of Carl Williams, Tyson slips his jab and connects with an immediate left hook.
I actually thought prime Tyson (85-91) fought well against the taller heavyweights that he faced.
