Ken Norton versus Buster Douglas

[goose 5]

12 rounds.

[DrDuke]

Douglas at his best (the Tyson version obviously) was a sublime textbook boxer, but Norton always gave hell to boxers. I'd pick Kenny by dec.

[emallini]

Norton by decision

[oogiebe]

Norton by UD or late stoppage depending on which Douglas shows up.

[margaret thatcher]

kenny would get a late stoppage over the buster that existed the large majority of the time

[Woldemar]

Norton TKO 9-11

[gilgamesh]

The very best Buster gives Kenny all he wants, but I think Ken's consistent toughness, and ability to do well against guys who had Buster's best assets bodes well for him here. I think Ken takes a UD in a 12 rounder. In a 15 rounder he'd stop him.

[HomicideHenry]

If it's the Douglas who fought Mike Tyson, that man could have beaten almost every heavyweight in history. But if it's not, I still think it would be a pretty exciting fight while it lasts with Norton winning by TKO in the 11th or so.
