Norton vs frazier 74-76

Frazier at this stage being through 3 wars with Ali and 2 ko losses to Foreman. Joe still
hit hard but nothing like Foreman and Shavers. Kenny wouldn't freeze and so would be
aggressive. Kenny on points.

 

Smoking Joe page 80....

"See, I don't lollygag when I train. The sparring partners who were there- Charley Polite, Ken Norton,Ray Anderson, and Moeman Williams- knew that when we got in the ring I'd put serious licks on them."

Norton was Frazier sparring partner during his title reign.

Ken Norton The Black Hercules page 172....

"Both Norton and Frazier were trained by the great Eddie Futch, and Norton had been sparring with Frazier regularly."

 

Ah, that answers it. Thanks Perry!
