Norton reigned retrospectively from November 1977 to June 1978, as the WBC declared his win over Young as for the vacant title, in March 1978... ;)
lol yeh! damn toney , does anyone no what it was that james failed on? shame tho i'd quite like lights out to rule the heavy wieghts he's now talking of dropping to cruiser for a bout with o neil bell
Steroids ...believe it or not....taken when he was tryin got recover from surgury.......
