    One of my childhood heroes and in my top 3 all-time. Had some hard luck, but never turned in to an *******. Seemed like a nice person and the one man Ali never figured out. First fight I ever saw on TV...Foreman vs. Norton. Would have had a fuller legacy if he'd been treated fairly.

    Real classy thing to post there...:roll: Half wit

    RIP Ken Norton, one of the top heavyweights when the division was strong and gave Muhammad Ali a world of problems every time they fought. Seemed like a genuinely nice guy as well

    I was being sincere. That was my favorite Ken Norton moment. One of the most brutal beat downs I ever seen and a masterful display of punching, and technique by Shavers.

    Ken Norton's fight against Larry Holmes is one of the best bouts I have ever seen. Literally had my jaw hanging as they both went for it in the 15th.

    Rest in Peace.

    The man's earthly jouney just ended and were honoring him, you could have done so also by posting one of his winning bouts, not one where your praising his opponent in one of his losing efforts.
