    The second fight says it all. A dancing and fit, but not fully prime, Ali easily out scored Norton. I know the official score was Ali split decision, but if you watch and score it yourself Ali wins at least 7-8 rounds making it 8-4 in my scorecard, Norton was never really in it; Ali dominated the first 6 rounds with ease, therefore A prime Ali wins something like 10-2.

    Ali never really had a problem in beating Norton as many make it sound like. The first fight, in the second round, Ali got his Jaw broke, and to Norton's shame he managed to beat Ali by only a split decision. Ali cruises to victory in the second fight. In the third fight, a shot Ali dominated Norton on points. Unless Norton breaks Ali's Jaw, he never has a chance against him.

    Get serious. Norton was dropped by Vic Brown.
