Was it not because Norton was always available to fight, but there was never any purse bids because every promoter out there knew he was a hard sell & Sky wouldnt really want to touch him. Luckily Alledgedly channel needed a fight just before Christmas. Bingo!!!stujones wrote:I disagree partially.

Like I said regardless of whether it would be enjoyable to watch he DESERVES the chance
Also, surely it was up to the BBBoC to strip Norton. 18 months without a defense is rediculous - but why didn't the BBBoC enforce something stronger - lets not forget the inactivity of Herbie Hide had something to do with Norton's own inactivity - he was down as mandatory.
The BBBoC didn't strip Norton (like they didn't strip Danny Williams after a similar period of inactivity in defending his title) - it aint Norton's fault.

Norton didn't choose not to defend his title, no TV companies wanted it. Belts are supposed to be for the best in the division - not the most entertaining.clintonmcphilbin wrote:But david dolan deserved a rematch after drawing with norton but he never got it.

And imo Norton deserves his chance at a re-match more than either Shane or Conquest.
Not knocking Shane for taking it though fair play to him, and good luck to him.

Am shocked this hasn't been cancelled yet. Or maybe they're being paid in Tesco Clubcard vouchers ?
