Utter rubbish. He was never seriously hurt in any of those fights besides the low blow. You were seeing what you expected to see.

A lot of people beat Jimmy Young, Ali beat Norton two more times as difficult as it was, Holmes was hurt that night, Foreman pounded Norton into jelly and Joe Frazier would have too if they’d fought.

Again I was a big Norton fan in real time, but I stand by my statement that people here get ahead of their skis with him as far as just how good he was. IMO he’s top 30 all time, maybe top 25 if you squint your eyes. I don’t think he’s touching a lot of the opponents that people here think he’d be competitive with.

This fight? I don’t know how good Usyk really is.

I tend to agree. Ali and Holmes are the Top 2 ATG Heavyweights in my book. Norton fought them on even terms. The more robotic Joshua and the fat Fury were good fighters but obviously not quite on that skill level.
