There would have been as much controversy over the decision as there was in real life. Hagler may have rematched Leonard in consequence.
Foster - Goes the way he always did when fighting a top heavy. Ellis - Ike finds him awkward to deal with at first but stops him late....
Both in their prime beat Evander.
A lot of the time...yes. It is also feasible that prime Norton catches Earnie quickly like he did to Duane Bobick and stops him. Ken may not...
At the time I could n't believe that Bobick was being rushed into a fight with Norton. Yes,I know he'd had several bouts by this time but they...
If Norton had got the decision in the third Ali fight,there would have been a rematch within six months. How would it have gone ? Logic...
Indeed. Ali's two most lauded wins against Liston and Foreman - Liston failed to come out for the seventh round in their first fight and got...
Yes. Ken's often said that he never felt quite the same after Yankee Stadium '76.
Too right. A prime Norton easily beats Cobb and Le Doux.
Ken would n't make the top 10 for ALL TIME heavies,true. I'd still rate him at number 4 for the 1970s ratings,though. My top 5 for that decade...
Good thread. If Ken had retired under the conditions laid down here,he'd have been around level with Joe Frazier in my rankings of seventies...
Ken Norton-Billy Costello (slightly)
That's it. Duran would have his moments but Robinson takes it by around four/five points on the cards.
Definitely had talent but underachieved like quite a few of his contemporaries. On Greg's best night he could have given a post 1983 Larry...
A slight resemblance between Muhammad Ali and Elijah Tilery. Randy Turpin-Johnny Melfah.
