Norton isn't going to put a dent into Old Foreman and I don't fancy his chin for when he finally does get caught. Norton would outwork Foreman but personally I don't think he'll see the end. He's too in your face and also too light in the pants to be in your face with Old Man Foreman.
Norton can't fight on the backfoot he tried that approach in their 1st meeting and Foreman caught up to him, Norton dragged his foot and hunched over slightly it was a unique style and could work against boxers when he was able to lead and be aggressive. His cross arm style was also good against boxers with good jabs where he could carry the jab and counter. But the issue is even against an older Foreman he hit too hard even in his 40s and once Norton felt the power he would freeze up again. Norton doesn't have the mobility to fight a disciplined fight for 12 rounds he also hasn't got the style or the mentality to do so. Foreman also had a good uppercut and could penetrate the unique cross arm style of Norton a style which was vulnerable to uppercuts. The only logical outcome is Foreman by KO not as quick as their first encounter by i'd say between 4-6.
Norton boxed handily and was doing quite well in his actual fight vs Foreman. I agree with Foreman’s later take that if he didn’t get Ken out of there asap, he would’ve been in for some fight. Young Foreman was better equipped to put the pedal to the metal as and when required to see his opponent off in quick time. Against 1991 Foreman, I could see Norton extending and building on the early successes he had in Caracas against a much slower Foreman - but it’s fair to argue that it still might ultimately come down to Foreman’s first or first few solid connections sending Ken on his one way slippery slope. It would also help if Norton didn’t come in as leery and tight as he quite obviously did in ‘74. Due to nerves, Norton said he saw openings that he didn’t take full advantage of. In fact, on the heels of that observation, Norton picked Ali to beat Foreman by decision “easily”.
