Something else that often goes unnoticed is that Ken Norton had terrible defence against the left hook.

Ali never had much of a hook so stylistically he matched well.. and Holmes, on their night, never had much of a left bicep so IMO Norton was fortunate not to get badly hurt.

My point is that I think it is a little easy to overrate Norton based on his success against one fighter.
