An MMA fight between the two would be interesting. Neither was an MMA specialist in the mold of a Tito Ortiz or a Quentin Jackson.

Norris's more versatile knowledge would have been a bigger advantage in such a fight, but it likely would have been at least countered by Norton's sheer athleticism. There's also the size difference: Norris's 5'10", 185 lbs. to Norton's 6'3", 220 lbs.

I think I'd probably give it to Norton, in the end.

Same here. Norton's top-level boxing ability combined with his considerable size/strength advantages would be a bit too much to overcome for Norris.

Boxers do quite well in MMA competitions once they learn the fundamentals of wrestling and a few submission holds. It'll be interesting to see if Floyd Mayweather Jr. backs up all the smack he's been talking and steps into the MMA ring.
