    Instead of the Caracas version, Norton Sr. gets the Foreman of either the Holyfield or Foreman fight

    I think the George of the Holy fight still stops Norton, only late. Holy took some bombs from Big George that I doubt Norton could have handled.

    However, the Foreman of circa 93 on, Norton outpoints.

    I'd pick Norton in both of these matchup. Yeah that chin is a liability, but he probably was too slow to catch Norton enough at this stage of his career

    I would also to pick Norton to out-box '91 Foreman, but it would be close
