    In a nutshell, yes! ….could maybe even borrow Chuvalo’s or Cobb’s chins. Ken could even promise not to put anywhere near the same average mileage per fight those two were prone to putting on their whiskers.

    Keep his chin up but don't stick it out.

    A better chin isn't required. As a boxer Norton was just very average.

    Not knowing how to fight was his biggest mistake he looked lost, he didn't know what he was doing with a certain type.

    Nope. I’d much sooner give Frazier a better chance.

    Competed against him in athletics not boxing. Norton was a magnificent specimen of a man.
