A toss up for me. I can see a victory on both sides.

Re: Heavyweights : Ken Norton vs. Lennox Lewis
Norton by decision. He'd take away Lennox jab and crowd him, also Lennox is vulnerable to overhand rights.
Re: Heavyweights : Ken Norton vs. Lennox Lewis
Even with that, I think Lennox would take his head off on the inside with his right uppercut. I just got off binge watching Lennox and when he was on it's hard for me to picture anyone beating him.Onetimeonly wrote: ↑11 Aug 2019, 14:55 Norton by decision.

I do. Prime Holy would have forced more exchanges which would be what Lewis would do well with considering his power. Lewis was too tentative in the two fights, even though I thought he won both. Clearly that wasn't prime holy.

Re: Heavyweights : Ken Norton vs. Lennox Lewis
Evander might be the greatest counterpuncher in heavyweight history, exchanging with him is a losing proposition for Lennox. That's why he fought cautiously, he had to.

LEWIS POINTS
Re: Heavyweights : Ken Norton vs. Lennox Lewis
Lewis kos Norton. Norton could jab but he's gonna get hit and Lewis' power in his right hand was better than Holmes' and Ali's. At some point , Lewis nails him and finishes Norton.

Lennox by KO

Lewis by KO. Norton could be a problem, but Lewis had the skills to adapt and the punching power, punch delivering abilities to reach Norton's shaky chin.
