I like Norton a lot more than Ali. I also think Ron Lyle beat Ali. He knocked Ali down a few times then they stopped the fight and gave it to Ali.
I don’t remember lyle knocking ali down in their fight once, let alone twice. are we thinking of the same fight? I do not believe ali was ever knocked down twice in any of his fights and I think it happened only 4 or 5 times total in his career.
