    Not even Ali believed that. He openly admitted that he didn't know how to beat Norton, but thanked the judges for scoring it for him anyway.

    Robney, stop arguing with Rodney. It's confusing and I cannot follow it.

    And someone else can have it 3-0 Norton, or 2-1. Trust me, they are out there.

    I think he has been rated accurately. A great fighter against boxers, but one who could not stand up to a puncher.

    Past his prime he had one of the greatest heavyweight championship fights of all time against absolutely prime Holmes. I gave it to Norton by a point. Close but clear. Ken very was very unlucky. The best never to win the heavyweight title (the real proper heavyweight title anyway)!
