Earnie Shavers "hit hard but couldn't hurt me if he tried"
Mike Weaver was "ordinary"

Ken Norton really got it!

Of Ali he said "I learned more from the three years I sparred him than from anyone else in my career."

Actually, I'll quote the mag tomorrow in a post.
CHeers for that. On the champions forever video he seemed like he was on good terms with all of them.
He did didn't he?

Mind you he was rather insistant that he would have beaten any of them, where as the others were all very diplomatic (except for Frazier of course.)

I guess thats the result of being under appreciated, you have to insist your legacy and don't resond well to that legacy being threatened.

That DVD made me like Big George a lot, very honest, very open and very diplomatic.
