Ken Norton vs Tim Witherspoon

[Nile4000]

15, Hwy, the Norton of Ali lll vs the Witherspoon of Holmes, who wins?

[Seamus]

Witherspoon could, but Norton probably would. If Terrible Tim moved and jabbed like he most certainly could, he'd win clearly, but based on the Holmes fight, he probably wouldn't do it enough, and while he'd have some huge rounds, in the end he'd get outworked by Norton by something like 9-6 or 8-6-1.

Either man by decision as it would be a boxing and slugging chess match.

Can't disagree with this assessment ^

Norton would win. He was a tougher and more tricky fighter.
