A Ken Norton v.s James Bonecrusher Smith for the undisputed World heavyweight title 15 rounds old school would have been very interesting.

I believe Norton would outhustle Bonecrusher with greater body punching and power punches to the head to take a 15 round decision. However, if Bonecrusher nail Norton's chin with a powerful right hand that stagger him and KO him in 5.

Bonecrusher, of couse, was very good and could give Norton a fight, but Ken had more of class. Norton by decision.

Norton. Clears decision or late TKO. Smith didn't hit hard enough to 'paralyze' Norton like Foreman; Cooney; Shavers.

Norton by UD.

Norton by close UD. Somewhere in the fight Bone is going to floor him and good.
