    Ken Norton comes across as an immensely nice guy - and very deep - and Floyd Patterson - an example to all of how to be a real man. Ez Charles also - a class guy no question

    Thanks T1. It's been a long time since I've seen Champions Forever, I was sure though that that "I never weanted to hurt anybody" was in there somewhere.

    Whatever it was, the lasting impression, the impression that has stayed with me in all the years since I'd seen the film, was that Norton struck as a real gentle guy, more so than the other 4, and less egotistical to boot. Probably too gentle! He probably lacked some of the killer instinct that the others possessed.
