I don't believe that Quarry KO'd Norton in sparring

He hid behind his guard nearly every second of every round.

Pat, that’s a side of you I haven’t read before.

The soft, poetic side. A cultured man. Cruel but fair and not altogether unfeeling.

Now, if I may, I will recite Rudyard Kipling’s “IF”. <cough cough - to clear the throat>

“IF….I could only remember the damn lines!”

 

I think it goes a little something like this …

Classic proof here from the ‘expert film guru’ … a link to a post that doesn’t exist lol.

Looks like he hacked my Greb career set, haha.

 

Kipling is “turning” in his “you know what” right now…..

 

Well if anyone wants any copies from my Who’s Harry Crumb box set, I’m happy to negotiate a fair price.

Here’s some stills to prove I’m not jerking anyone around: -

Cheers - good stuff.

 

So anyone who adequately defends themselves is “hiding”. Per your distorted observation, it’s a wonder Norton was able to mount any of the formidable offence that he did, in fact, mete out.

Muhammad (39 rounds) and Larry (15 rounds) landed their fair share on Kenny - but somehow, old “glass chin”, remained upright. Crazy, isn’t it?

 

When you’re talking about how good of a chin someone has a strong point isn’t talking about how well they defend. He defended very well against Holmes and Ali- otherwise he’d be knocked out or dropped like he was many times.

 

That’s the manager of Fred ‘Young Sanford’ Houpe and Gonzalo Montellano you’re talking about there, bub.

He was most famous as a comedian, but he had the insane desire to be part of the boxing world.

So you could say he was crazy like a Foxx.

 

No, you wrote that Norton “hid” as if he was accented on protecting a crystal chin and not willing to engage lest he invite greater risk.

He did engage, very much so, and he did get hit good by both Ali and Holmes - their best shots as you were already told.

You’re the one who introduced Norton’s defence as a talking point in order to warp the degree to which that defence protected Norton - that point was duly addressed and answered/refuted.

I mean, let’s denigrate Norton but when it’s convenient, let’s afford him the defensive capabilities of a Sweet Pea Whittaker. Lol.

 

Well, it’s good that you’re not seeing Redd over this,
