Quarry knocked Norton out cold in sparring in the Main Street gym in 1970 while Norton was preparing for Garcia. Later two different LA promoters...
Norton is beyond overrated based on stylistically giving Ali problems. Beyond that his resume is paper thin. Hes the only HW champion to never win...
Armstrong is always given way too much credit for the Garcia draw (and the Ambers loss). A couple of things about this fight. It wasnt the clear...

Bonavena should have been credited with at least one knockdown, maybe two. Sorry to burst your bubble Burt but the rule has always been that if a...
