Norton never faced a prime Ali and Norton's body attack was more consistent and committed than that of a Joe Louis. Louis' style is not similar...
He definitely catches Louis with either pull or right hand lead and he doubles up. The issue here for me is does Ali tempt the lead from Louis...
You could arguably throw Louis, Hearns, RJJ and Duran in here on a variety of factors

His right hand body shots around the elbows are absolutely killer. What made him so nasty was that he would be whipping fight ending shots in...
