    Agreed. Ali was also better than Shavers...

    I think Norton beats them all,better schooled and just as physically developed as they are. Magnificent body and physical specimen.

    Usyk is far better than the version of Ali that beat Shavers, Ali often didn`t train much in his latter career and wa getting tagged often by Shavers.

    His body wasn`t better than AJ`s and he was a lot smaller in muscle size too.

    Fury would paste bums like Joe Bugner, i think Fury would have had too much for Ali, if Leon Spinks could beat him then Fury is well capable.

    Leon was an Olympic Gold medalist not some type of bum against an old ship worn Ali.

    I agree. I was just giving my opinion that Norton would do better against Usyk than he would Wilder or AJ. Same reason he did better against Ali than he did Shavers. Great fighter with a weak chin.

    Pretty much agree on everything. He beat Ali twice and maybe three times yet get robbed in the scorecards. Then he lost his motivation for the sport and got worse and worse. If he is not one of the all time greats, i don't know who is.

    AJ would have been getting knocked out left and right. Fury and Usyk would have been competitive but not dominate.

    Ali was on the way down in the third fight between the two and fought better in the second fight than the first.
