Ali vs Norton 3 - Controversial...How did you have it?

I thought Norton won the 3rd fight by a slight margin. Ali was on the down side by then.

My favorite fight of that trilogy is the 2nd fight. I don't understand why this fight is so underated. Ali still had it, and he showed it vs Norton in that 2nd fight although it was close...again. Great fight! One of my favs of all time.

I think I had Norton just ahead at the end.

I think Norton is 1 of the few fighters that had the style that would given the Ali of the 60s a hard night.

I thought Norton won all three fights. The guy was just Ali's kryponite

Yes a bit like Junior Jones could always beat MAB.

Yup, no matter how great you are, there is always someone out there that is going to give you all kinds of trouble. Pep/Saddler, MAB/Pac, ect ect.

Whats interesting is that Holmes had similar problems against that kind of style against both Witherspoon and Norton.

And as for the topic i had Norton winning can't remember my exact scorecard but i remember i had Norton winning for sure, i also had Ali losing against Shavers, Young.

Norton said in an interview (at which he was sitting beside Ali)
"TRhe two first fights were close, they could have gone either way, but I knew as soon as the bell rang I won the third fight."
