The former world heavyweight boxing champion Ken Norton, who has died aged 70 after a long period of illness, will be best remembered for breaking Muhammad Ali's jaw on his way to a points victory in the first of their trilogy of heavyweight fights. He lost the next two encounters with "The Greatest" narrowly and contentiously; many believed Norton should have been awarded the decision in all three contests.
RIP Ken.

    A class act and great champion. Kenny had a certain style that gave Ali fits. He was the puzzle that even the great Ali could never really solve. His 15th round vs. Larry Holmes is on You Tube and is one of the greatest rounds of boxing I've ever seen. RIP Champ.

    Stay Legendary,

    Vegas Vince

      This one was posted 3 hours before that, but never mind. That's all part of life down here in the boozer.

      So that blind people can hate them as well.

          DOH!

          The curse of being in a different time zone.

          According to what I've got showing is this thread was started at 7:09AM.

          The other one was started at 10:08AM.

          Hence my claim about the three hours time difference.

          In actuality, this thread was started 21 hours after the other one, as that was started on the 19th.

          Double DOH!!!

          Once again, all part of life down here in the boozer.

    This is kind of late since I've been out and haven't been in the forum for days but I would also like to express my condolences. Rest in peace Kenneth Howard Norton Sr. You will be forever remembered as one of the few to beat the great Ali. Only him and Joe Frazier beat Ali and this is a great achievement.
