    Tim Withersppon would also give him trouble. And so would a old Ken Norton.

    A prime for prime fight between Larry and Ken would have been extremely close. In fact they'd more than likely had a series similar to Ken's trilogy with Muhammad Ali. Witherspoon was quite similar to Norton,in some ways.
