    Who gets your pick? Norton should have got it in my opinion.

    Ali had two very tough trilogies with Frazier and Norton.

    If Pacquiao did that he'd never live it down. Hell he still catches eternal **** for just the one Marquez trilogy.

    Norton won by the way.

    ^ draw in a 15 round fight. Nobody has ever scored this fight a draw.
    As it was I scored it 8-7 Norton. So I had him close but not a robbery. The problem with this fight is Norton wins many of his rounds very convincingly with hard punches but still each round is scored individually and Ali won a lot of the rounds that lacked action or drama. So the fight gives the false narrative that Ali lost badly and got a gift. I disagree on that but I did have him lose by 1 round.
