jersey joe walcott vs ken norton

[Heckler]

So yeah Norton has more power but Walcott was a better puncher from a technical standpoint. I dont think those short sharp right crosses and left hooks carried more power then Nortons punches at all.

[Kid Achilles]

How is everyone so sure that Norton is the harder hitter? I don't see it at all. I think both guys were good but not great punchers but I just don't see how you could say Norton had such an obvious edge in power. If anything, Walcott's punches looked better and harder on film.

walcott knocked out and knocked down the better fighters


can u imagine ken norton knocking ezzard charles out with 1 punch?


on film, walcotts punches are more powerful IMO. walcott floored granite chin rocky marciano, knocked out ezzard charles with 1 punch, floored joe louis 3x, floored elmer ray 3x, floored jimmy bivins, floored and stopped harold johnson, knocked out contender curtis sheppard, etc.

from that statement you know abe has to be lying. either that or joe louis hit him so hard that he doesn't even remember louis pounding him to the ground.
