    Norton's fine against Wlad: His style takes away the jab and gives outside fighters fits. He was defenseless against straight ahead punchers which Wlad is not. That's a problem against Vitali who will attack if the jab isn't working.

      Good points,, good breakdown on norton's style,, I agree that norton could beat wlad, but i doubt he beats vitali

        I wouldn't trust Norton's chin against either of them. The memory is still clear for me of a mediocre cruiserweight battering Norton in LA.

          The problem is that you could tie an opponents hands behind his back and Wlad would STILL try and jab the dude to death all night long.

            Eventually he gets that straight right or left hook home and I don't think Norton can handle it. But conversely if Norton lands the big punch first it could go the other way.
