Prime Ken Norton Jr. vs Prime Evander Holyfield, who wins?

[Jeff Da Maori]

Yeah my bad, I meant Ken Norton not his son Norton Jr. who played for the 49ers lol.

I knew that bro, no offence meant. Just ****in around

[Tiozzo]

I got Evander by UD.

Evander had a iron chin and had faster hands.

Norton has a punchers chance.

not really

Evander fought harder punchers, and he took their punches

Bowe did stop him, but just once in 3 fights

I just don't see Norton able to stop Evander

(and please don't bring Toney up, it's irrelevant)

Norton is a stylistic nightmare for a lot of great heavies,but evander isnt really one of them,i think holyfield wins a close but clear UD

On a side note,Norton is one of the only fighters in history id favour over a prime Ali

Holyfield by 1st round KTFO. Ken Norton JR was an NFL player or something equally soft

LOL. Jr. did try boxing and got KTFO.

I take Holy against most all time greats prime for prime.

I don't know, Norton Jr. looked pretty good when punching the goal post.

Holyfield probably wins a good fight. Norton had the style that gave good boxers problems, he wasn't as successful against big punchers. You can call Holyfield a boxer-brawler. While he wasn't a huge puncher, he had a terrific left hook, and his accuracy and timing enabled him to hurt guys known for having good chins. For instance, Holyfield by no means was as powerful as Lennox Lewis, but he hurt Ray Mercer with that left hook worse than Lewis did in their fight a year later. And Lewis hit Mercer with a lot of good right hands.

Norton had that tricky cross-arm defense. Foreman had a similar defense, Holyfield was still able to hit him consistently, of course Foreman was 125 years old. Though I do I think Foreman did fairly well with his defense of absorbing some of the power during that 17 punch or so combination in round 7.

I'll go with Holyfield by competitive decision.
