    Keep in mind that Larry's left biceps was so badly torn in training that a doctor who examined it wanted to postpone Holmes-Norton for another four months, a proposal Larry immediately rejected. Neither man was properly primed for that classic showdown.

    Ken Norton was never that great, Holmes would beat him.

    Norton was really the only fighter that against Ali it was "even money". He couldn't be psyched out and his "style" neutralized Ali's jab.....leaving Ali with a very limited offense.

    Larry would unanimously decision Ken 9-6, leaving Ken to deal with whatever starlet he was messng with at the time.
