I could be wrong... but did these two ever fight? I don't think they did... my boxing knowledge may be way off key here but... I don't recall these two ever going at it in the squared circle! If they did... what happened?

IF THEY DIDN'T... it's a perfect topic for discussion! Who would you say would win? Back in the day when it was 15 rounds... I reckon Frazier would have the power but Norton would have the speed! Both were DESTROYED by George Foreman... but I reckon Frazier would want it more than Ken Norton.

Joe and Kenny never had an official fight but they sparred many rounds. They were good friends and swore they would never fight each other.

I swear to god I thinking about that last night!!! But my vote would go to Frazier by 15 round decision. Norton was Frazier's top sparring partner and they knew each others tricks. It would probably be an all out war like Holmes and Norton.

So they never ever fought? WOW!

 

[bill1234]

Yep, they never fought. They are just about the only two in the 70's that didn't fight at least once!

It would have been one hell of a match I tell yeah... it would so have gone 15 rounds... I'm sure of that!

 

[bill1234]

Yeah it would, but it would be one action packed 15 rounds!

 

[Sonny Liston]

Yeah it would, but it would be one action packed 15 rounds!

Do you think there would have been any knockdowns... or would both fighters be able to withstand the punishment and stay on their feet for the whole entire duration of the 15 rounds?

 

[bill1234]

They might hit the canvas but for the most part they would be punshin.

How much quicker do you think Ken Norton would be???

 

[bill1234]

May be about medium, Frazier was pretty slow.

 

[The Auctioneer]

I don't see either of these guys going 15., On any given day they could have beat each other since they knew one another so well. If I had to I would give Joe the slight edge.......

 

[bill1234]

It would go 15 rounds because both had heart, and both were very strong.

Joe would've been stronger... Norton the faster!

Yep, exactly. :thumbsup:
