Who wins?

Gotta see more Joshua. Norton was a truly great boxer. Joshua has shown some really impressive boxing abilities in his recent rematch vs Ruiz, but he needs to be tested by someone better than unmotivated and overweight Ruiz.

This is honestly a very compelling and difficult to pick matchup. The fight would reach the cards. I’m inclined to believe that if Kenny Norton can beat Ali, surely he can beat Joshua. If it’s a one-off, I’ll give the benefit of the doubt to Joshua, but in a trilogy, Norton takes at least one if not two.

Ruiz Jr couldn't cut off the ring and he wasn't as fast as before in the rematch.

And it's not like Joshua didn't try to outbox Ruiz Jr in the first fight too, but Ruiz Jr was able to cut off the ring and he was mobile unlike the second fight.

I don't think Norton will be like Ruiz Jr was in the rematch. Norton will be faster. This could go like Joseph Parker fight, but Norton can land more power shots due to his better stamina and Norton has longer reach than Parker.

Ask me again when Anthony Joshua is done.
