    It's shocking how many of that era have passed away recently.
    It's also incredible that Ali is outliving so many.

    RIP

    Sad news. Too young to pass. Ken Norton lived a full life. He was a Marine, a boxer ofcourse, champion and even got into the movies. He was also a father. A very intelligent man IMO. He was well spoken and carried himself witih class.

    Norton was one of the factors that made 70s Heavyweight boxing so much fun. His matches with Ali and Holmes in particular will live down the ages.

    Don't give the waste of skin the attention he clearly misses from his momma

    RIP to Kenny a real nice guy very humble when a guy like that deserves to have a big head - a real example of how to carry yourself - thoughts to his family and thanks to Kenny for the memories - think I gunna watch champions forever tonight methinks but then will probably make me feel all the more gutted :? RIP Kenny

    Can't believe it. Seems like yesterday I watched him fight Foreman, Ali, Holmes, Shavers, LeDoux, Quarry. Probably the most perfect physical specimen ever in hwt history and here we are in 2013 and he is gone from congestive heart failure? Just not right.
