Was Norton really as vulnerable to punchers as many make out? I dont think so, but maybe you feel differently. Here, he gets to strut his stuff against some punchers of varying quality... Donovan Ruddock Ike Ibeabuchi (ugh) Ray Mercer Tommy Morrison Ron Lyle
Since when was Ray Mercer a "puncher"? Holyfield hit harder than Mercer. Norton beats Mercer easily. Morrison might take him out, but I pick Norton there also. Norton Lyle would go to Norton. Ibeatahoochie and Ruddock would beat Norton.
I think he gets to Tommy first, to be honest He outpoints Mercer pretty clearly Lyle is a tougher call... sometimes Lyle looked like a monstrous hitter, other times not so much, that one is a pick-em to me, though I rate Norton as the better fighter overall Norton is a way better fighter than Ruddock, but he still gets KOd Ibeabuchi is interesting, because I think his power is very overrated... I'd give Norton a real shot there
