How would the Buster Douglass that beat Tyson have fared against Jersey Joe Walcott?

what the heck? it says v norton in the title.
very hard to evaluate buster, based on that one freaky good performance.
on the weight of evidence, i would say that both those great fighters would have beat buster.

It would be very hard to beat that Buster Douglas that performed brilliantly in Tokyo. Can Buster keep up with that performance? No. He didn't like to train besides having that great talent. Buster of Tokyo beats Ken Norton by unanimous decision.

Buster of Tokyo beat Norton by UD.

Any time Norton beat him by midround stoppage.

Norton was a great jabber (ask Ali). He would neutralize the advantages that Douglass had over Tyson. Norton would win UD or late stoppage.

Prime Tyson-crushing Douglas looked like an ideal textbook boxer. Norton was a specific boxer and also a highly skilled one. Norton would be far more inventive, than Tyson. I guess, it would be a bout similar to Holmes-Norton. I slightly edge Norton over Douglas though.
