Let's be honest Norton won all 3 fights with Ali. But because he was Ali they gave it to him. Norton didn't have to make adjustments in my opinion. He performed the same tactic. He continued to stick Ali with the jab and throw his timing off. That's was all Norton did to get the advantage.
I must be in the minority on this one, but I completely agree with the judges. I had Ali winning close and if Norton had won close, I wouldn't make a fuss, but robbery??? No0o0o. Watch it again.
Cheese, honestly many seasoned boxing men thought Ali won the last two, me included, and many thought Norton did the same. Bottom line, Norton lost them by the judges, nuff said. Abdullah, I agree entirely.
Like most I am an Ali fan, and agree with you. Kenny Norton could & should have been the only fighter ever to beat Ali twice. He was robbed of a far bigger place in boxing history that night.
