Ken Norton vs. Tommy Morrison

[Duch]

Hm?

[deighan]

ken norton would win fairly one sided points win , cant imagine it would be great to watch though!

[gilgamesh]

I'd take Norton to win clearly as well.

[deighan]

just being looking at nortons record and i know it was a time when heavyweights were still good but excluding the ali win most of the big names beat him?
i will point out i have only ever seen a couple of norton fights so i might not be the best judge

Norton's quick, hard jab would keep Morrison at bay and gradually wear him down on way to an 8th round TKO.
But Norton would have to be careful of TM's deceptively fast hook, and the fun would begin if one landed on Norton's questionable chin.

Tommy Morrison is one big puncher whom I might actually favor Ken to beat. Its true that Norton didn't do well against men who forced him to fight off the back foot, and in truth he only did well if he was coming forward. But I think his skills could prevent Tommy from getting the better of him and perhaps force a stoppage himself at some point in the mid rounds or later.
