Ken Norton Losses

I think the Norton fight is the best Foreman looked. Norton's chin ( But not nerves ) , if you look at it might have been better than Frazier's. Ali hurt Frazier and buckled him a few times. He did nothing of the sort vs Norton.

 

One thing for sure he didn't lose the 3rd ali fight

 

Ali couldn't land anything on Norton. Kenny took his jab away and also the right hand. Frazier on the other hand forced the action. He walked through everything Ali could throw. He was slipping and sliding on the way in but he was coming in whether he was hit or not.

 

Tell that to the people who gave Ali the 3rd fight. Ali landed some. I agree Frazier got hit a bit more.

 

He was a stylistic pair of scissors.

Devastating against paper, but indifferent against stone!

 

This is the answer every fighter/trainer understands watching the styles....his chin was OK but his crab defense, leaning over his left leg and dragging his back leg behind him he could not move out of range very well because of his stance.....he got away with it most of the time because he was a big strong powerful man when the average heavyweight was smaller than him but against punchers you need the ability to stick and move he didn't......

 

Unless they are Ali?

 

Known as," the foot in the bucket ",Bob Foster did it too,though to a lesser extent.

 

He never peppered Norton. He peppered Foreman, he peppered Frazier but Kenny was puzzle to Ali.
