Norton could only fight going foward and he could not do that against a puncher as we have seen, He was trouble for Ali in 3 fights and the Young fight was close, Holmes finished stronger IMO in the last round but the fight was close. He was a very good contender but did have ovious weaknesses going foward with a puncher because he rarely was successful with a puncher...Garcia KO BY 8,Foreman KO by 2, Shavers Ko2, Cooney KO 1 and even though the Ledoux fight went 10, Norton was down 2 times and almost out in there fight declared a draw
