RIP Ken Norton, my thoughts are with his family.

Thanks for the memories, champ! we'll never forget you! You were a champion in and out of the ring.

Real warrior, rip. He didn't have the best natural ability or pedigree, nor a great chin. Considering that you have to respect the hell out of what he accomplished in becoming a great fighter, he truly studied his craft. If you didn't hit like a mule and land early, he would take you to the depths of hell no matter who you were I think he clearly beat Ali again in their third fight, that was a BS decision.

RIP champ. One of the top fighters during the Golden Age of heavyweights. He would have had a much longer reign in any other era. A magnificent athlete, always fit! Tough and always gave his best.

While he could be vulnerable to fast-starting big punchers, he gave a prime Larry Holmes his toughest fight by far and was the ONLY fighter that Muhammad Ali could not figure out. He gave Ali fits

A shame that such a physically gifted guy was so badly injured in a car crash post-boxing and suffered such a long period of ill health

A very good fighter, who was a huge factor in why the 1970s was a special time for the Heavyweights. His war with Holmes is arguably the best Heavyweight match ever, and that he could beat Ali and then give Muhammad two incredibly close battles, helps show how good he was.
