Tough one. Gut reaction tells me that Evander pulls away late.

RE: Ken Norton Vs. Evander Holyfield
Evander is a tiny midget compared to what Ken Norton had to face in his day. Norton arguably had the upper over the greatest of all time. I could see Evander getting dragged in a fight where Norton lands bombs..hurts Holyfield and wins a close SD

Holy pulls out the win...but if you don't have Foreman power Norton is a tough fight for any ATG.

RE: Ken Norton Vs. Evander Holyfield
Ken Norton has always been underrated but its hard for me to bet against a Prime Holyfield, one of my alltime favs...

Real Deal beats him with the right hand.

I think Nortons best shot was the uppercut... because of that and his style & length he was susceptible to the short right inside, which was Holyfields bread and butter... i think if they stood toe to toe Norton would be the one attempting to counter, as long as you stayed out of that awkward range of his, he was beatable.

Plus Holy's workrate, too. Norton loved fighters who stayed on the outside...even in Ali and Holmes, two of the best long range fighters in history.


But prime Holy would be on him and making him work for every second of every round.

RE: Ken Norton Vs. Evander Holyfield
Holyfields work rate is one of those intangibles that gives him that secret edge, along with the Flat out will to win...

I also think people forget how athletic a young, swole Evander was... it'd be like getting the version of Tyson Fury that fought Wlad and a better fighting/more intelligent version of Joshua rolled into one.

RE: Ken Norton Vs. Evander Holyfield
I can't believe we've just described prime Evander Holyfield as a cross between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua (but I know what you mean Big Grin )

Holyfield had retard strength and fitness. I wonder if he had a touch of Downs Syndrome?
