    I think so. He's a mich bigger man and he was very skilled. That chin is a liability though...

    Joe Louis isn't gonna go at Norton winging hooks like Foreman and Cooney did, and so this fight is competitive up until the middle rounds where Louis stops him with a devastating combo

    I think Louis eventually takes Kenny out.
