    Bowe... he hit too hard

    Kenny just froze up and waited to get blasted against the bigger hitters

    against anyone who's punch didn't give him pause, he was a nightmare... but against big hitters he was fairly useless

    Bowe would fuck up Norton's world.

    I never buy into the idea Norton vs. puncher = sure-fire KO personally, but let's not start a debate on a fight we agree on.

    Bowe gets Norton out of there in my mind. I'd say six rounds?

    Why not?

    He got killed in every fight he ever had with a big puncher

    I don't know if I consider Bowe to be all that big of a hitter. He could punch, but he's not exactly Foreman, Shavers or Tyson in that regard.

    I would make Bowe the favorite...but the longer the fight goes, the better Norton's chances are.

    I think Norton would give Bowe fits. Bowe should be able to blast him but I think Norton's awkwardness, bodypunching and ability to disrupt his opponents' rhythm by jabbing with them would work wonders against Bowe. Bowe would pull it out but this is a tough fight for him.

    I dont think Bowe hit like Foreman or Shavers but he did plenty hard, harder than Quarry, Ali, Holmes, etc. ... the guys Norton looked at his best against

    I still think its too much for Kenny, but I'd like to be wrong... I like Norton, I hated Bowe
