I was watching that fight when Norton broke Ail’s jaw.
Cosell couldn’t understand why Ali wasn’t dancing around...
Those were the days..

He’s probably the only boxer to ever shut Cassius Clay up.

Wasn’t Ken Norton the guy with an amazingly versatile and powerful right hand?

He had a ‘bent-over’ crab like style of boxing. More like Jimmy Young.
He was a Counter-Puncher, not aggressive, but he could really nail you with that sneaky ‘come-back’.
Norton was tough. Really tough

Joe Frazier didn't shut his mouth but he did give him a few beatings. Those were the days of good heavyweight fights.

Isn’t Jr the only player in NFL History to be on three straight SB winners (2 with Dallas, 1 with San Francisco).

Those were the days..
Indeed they were.
If we were lucky, we could catch the fight live on Saturday afternoon’s Wide World of Sports hosted by Howard Cosell.
If not Live, we could watch the replay, savoring the creativity and skill of the greatest BOXERS of the age.
Now-a-days, they don’t BOX.
When asked of Ali in his late 50’s, how he would expect to fare against Mike Tyson, Ali quipped, “Don’t make me laugh...”
Tyson, was NO Boxer...

I believe George Foreman said on Johnny Carson that Norton hit him harder than anyone else.
RIP Mr. Norton

Those were the days of good heavyweight fights.”
My adoptive father was World’s Heavyweight Champion at one time, probably in the 1930’s, early 1940’s. Kinder, more gentle man outside the ring you would never find. He went back for a few fights during the 1940’s. I wasn’t allowed to see him though - my mom said it was too bloody and the language from the fans was too crude.
If he were still alive, he would tell you those were the days of the good fights.

I saw the fight on TV. Howard Cosell did the blow by blow. I’ll never forget Howard’s “Down goes Frazier, Down goes Frazier.” Howard did good fight calls.
