Kenny might be the best fighter suited for Mike to beat

Norton's chin was the main factor in this bout, it wouldn't take Tyson's clean punch. If Norton was able to avoid Mike's best shots early, his chances to win would increase, but Tyson was too fast and elusive in the offence not to land at some point. Mike by KO.

Don't think Kenny had enough to keep Mike off him. early KO for Tyson.

The very best I can imagine is Norton making it to the 3rd or 4th, and that's if he's doing well.

In hindsight, Norton should have retired after the Holmes fight. He would be getting a lot more respect if he did.

Truth, but if he made another Mandingo movie, someone should take him out of his misery.
