Mac could hit hard. If he caught Kenny, it's lights out.

Mac could hit hard, but he only beats past primed Zora Folley, Cleveland Williams and Thad Spencer even though they were good wins on record. However, Quarry stops Mac in 6 rounds, then lost to Muhammad Ali and Joe Bugner to name other half of his 6 losses his career.
In 1972, Norton would punish Mac on the body with his pressure style and nailed him with powerful left hooks and right hands to stop Mac in 5 rounds.

Sure, but again, if he catches Kenny, it's over. Norton a much better boxer and I'd favor him, but certainly not more than 60-40.
