Re: Muhammad Ali vs Ken Norton I - March 31, 1973 - HIGH QUALITY REMASTERED!
I think Ali won the second Norton fight.
The third one is tough ... I'm an Ali fan but he didn't do enough that day to get a decision over Norton. It was close but I think Norton should've gotten the nod. Ali should've retired after the "Thrilla in Manila" and looked completely shot after that. Nothing about him was the same.
Prime Norton is hell for any pure boxer.

Prime Frazier vs prime Holmes would have been a barn-burner

I'd pick Frazier for that one
Holmes is an ATG and everything but ... aside from an aging Norton the best he's beaten is ... Gerry Cooney
The closest Holmes ever fought to a swarmer of Frazier's caliber was Tyson ... Tyson wasn't actually a swarmer but he was similar in size to Frazier ... and Tyson mauled him EASY.
Frazier fought plenty of boxer types and beat near prime Ali

Holmes would beat Frazier, his jab would hurt and his chin could take the bombs of Joe. It would have been a terrific fight.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
