    Ali did what he could to win that second fight. He knew Frazier had the goods to beat him. I also always wondered if Ali kind of spent himself a little in that second round. He had Frazier.

    Norton could be a really exciting fighter...with Joe, most of the time you could bet he was going to win. Ken got screwed a lot.

    Joe came to fight. A strong referee who enforced rules may have changed the outcome.

    It depends on what you like. Frazier won " the fight " over Ali.

    Norton though bettered Ali, in his 3 fight series with him and gave Holmes a very close and exciting 15 round performance.

    If I am correct about what u r saying, I have to agree. Despite disputed results over the second and third Ali-Frazier bouts, Ali did win the trilogy. Norton won the Ali trilogy 2-1, and it could be said he won it 3-0.
