it would have been easy for <strong>Jerry</strong> to beat Norton, Kenny had an awkward style,<br />
and a pretty good chin, much tougher than Shavers and Mac Foster. And your<br />
right, <strong>Jerry</strong>, in his prime, would have been quicker and more accurate. And yes<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong> did cut easily. So, Norton could have a chance to beat <strong>Jerry</strong> in his prime<br />
on cuts or maybe a decision if <strong>Jerry</strong> ran out of gas. But I don't think it would<br />
have gone past six or seven rounds. And I don't think Kenny's hand would have<br />
been raised as the victor. But you never know. <strong>Jerry</strong> was kind of unpredictable<br />
in big fights, but most of his losses in big fights,during his prime years,were<br />
to great fighters. Kenny was a very good fighter, not an over rated one, but a<br />
very very good one. <strong>Jerry</strong> just had too much fire power in his prime. And Tyson<br />
vs. Norton? This one would have been like the Spinks or Marvis Frazier fight, no<br />
contest. Jaws by KO 1:35 of the first round. Frazier by decision over Machen.<br />
Eddie takes a knee in the last round. Joe wins 8 to 4. |<br />

be more evenly contested than you other guys have predicted. Norton was a smart<br />
fighter. I think he would have known what was coming at him in Tyson and dealt<br />
with it an intelligent way. Using his strength to tie up Tyson and his<br />
considerable skill to frustrate him. I do feel however, perhaps in the manner of<br />
the first Ruddock fight, Tyson would catch him and force a stoppage in about 7<br />
rounds.I thin the Frazier - Machen bout would be similar to their actually<br />
contested bout except at a more frenetic pace. In their actual fight, Frazier<br />
had'nt reached his peak and Machen was passed his. <strong>The</strong> result I feel...Frazier<br />
by late round kayo, say around the ninth. In the next two bouts we have Larry<br />
Holmes vs Joe Louis and the second bout, Lennox Lewis vs Muhammad Ali.Wow !<br />
Some great matches there. Evren|<br />

Appel|oriononside@aol.com||oriononside@aol.com||||10|In two great fights, Joe<br />
Louis wins a split decision over Larry Holmes and Muhammed Ali wins a close but<br />
unaminous decision over Lennox Lewis. In the Louis/Holmes fight; two judges<br />
vote for Louis by only a two point margin while the third judge votes for<br />
Holmes, also by a two point margin. In Ali/Lewis, two judges give the bout to<br />
Ali by a two point advantage while the other sees him winning by only a single<br />
point.|<br />

Lewis would cause Ali huge problems. Ali would not have the reach and would<br />
have to move inside to land. That was never Ali's style and it wouldn't be<br />
here. Ali would lose a boring tactical fight as Lewis' size is the determining<br />
factor. Holmes-Louis is a toss-up, but I think Louis never fought anyone with<br />
the speed to match and surpass him and Holmes would win a unanimous decision by<br />
a couple of points.|<br />
|6/26/02 09:48:08 AM|Evren|London||@||||10|<strong>The</strong> Joe Louis vs Larry Holmes fight<br />
would be a real toss-up. A great, great match-up. In a highly competitive fight<br />
Larry Holmes would take a close decision, winning the rounds late.I feel Ali<br />
would have been far to fast for Lewis. Ali had good natural size and his reach<br />
was'nt too far off Lewis'. Lewis could'nt use his size and bulk against Muhammad<br />
as he would'nt be there to be hit. <strong>The</strong> Terrell fight comes to mind with Lewis<br />
being not nearly as awkward or fast. Lewis strength and weight would make it<br />
hard for Ali during the middle rounds but I would see '<strong>The</strong> Greatest' stopping<br />
Lennox late with an unanswered barrage against the ropes.|<br />

that <strong>Quarry</strong> and Bonavena wouldhave been an excellent match-up.A real<br />
war! Gold bless both of them. they gaveus all alot of thrills.|<br />
|6/26/02 05:27:28 PM|Slade|Oregon||info@ptctel.com||||10|I am an admirer of<br />
Lennox Lewis. However, I wouldn't rate him to win a fight over Ali. "Reach"<br />
would not be an issue in this fight. Ali had an 82 inch reach, Lennox 84 - very<br />
close, but Ali was much more agile and quicker. I don't mean to take anything
