Say what you will about Ali, the single toughest thing I’ve ever seen a man do was his going 13 rounds with Ken Norton with a broken jaw.
Norton broke Ali’s jaw in the second round, and Ali fought on and finished the fight. Norton knew he hurt Ali and worked on the jaw for the rest of the fight.
He lost the decision to Norton, but it was close.
no matter how many times I see that, it still doesn’t seem right
Amazing sequence. A truly magnificent fighter in his day.
