[@josephjoshua]

Ali and Norton had mad respect for each other tho.

[@Wilson632]

Two Gladiators. friends outside the ring. foes inside the ring. Thanks for the Memories champs.🤛🤜🇺🇸

[@janswart2705]

Two things Ali can never be accused of, are that he ducked anyone and was inactive

[@nepaliguy6537]

hear hear

[@austinsulander6894]

Arguably a Foreman rematch

[@youtoo2233]

@@austinsulander6894 no, people talk like Ali ducked Foreman, truth is Foreman had just a couple of more fights and then he retired for 10 years, doesn't matter because Foreman would never be able to beat Ali, Foreman had hell with boxers not sluggers, Ali didn't even throw tons of punches on George and still won, just imagine if he went all out on George

[@boxeolocopunch762]

​@@youtoo2233 well ali said to george if he beat the 5 boxers in one night they will fight again. It was 1975. And George did it and ali didnt do it. On 1977 While Ali was doing the greatest. George appeared ar the studio and said to Ali he wanted the rematch. They started to insult each other.. i dont know if Ali ducked foreman. But one thing we know is that foreman wanted that fight

[@Mikey12396]

⁠@@boxeolocopunch762may I ask where you got the story of George visiting Ali during the shooting of his movie? Also George WAS the number 1 contender in 1976 until he took a discretionary match against Jimmy Young and lost.

[@michaelloughrie5519]

Ken Norton was a great boxer, nobody should forget the beast he was

[@Swat-ed5bt]

Ali is THE Greatest 👑👑👑

[@normandoughty8737]

Hardly

[@TREACHLANDWALKER]

Thank you for this they look like more of friends then enemies ❤️❤️❤️

[@jerichobeach2967]

Kenny looked young in that opening interview!

[@ppuh6tfrz646]

I don't remember Norton's death being announced at the time. It seemed to get very little publicity.

[@JesseTheMindless]

Ali's speech is showing signs of slowing down in these clips.

[@jonathanwilliams8309]

It’s an eye opener to see and hear Ali talking about the sanctioning bodies making him fight so much. The very organisations that turned on him, over his refusal to go to Vietnam. Then when it turned out he was right, got his license back and started generating massive amounts of money, like no one before him. They all jumped on his back and leeched of him. That man gave so much to Boxing, Sport in General and the whole world, yet they were willing to risk his health, to enrich themselves financially.

[@normandoughty8737]

What turned out that he was right? They gave him a pass for just being Ali, if it would have been anyone else he would have been in jail two years before, that is the official statement. Ali refused military service and was punished, many champions served in the military. Ali acted like a coward, punished for refusal, then give his license back only because of the outrage of the war.

[@VintageBoxingTM]

Great material!🙌

[@dougfredricks2017]

I love KZbin for the Nostalgic posts.

[@therealc.t.7085]

If it wasn’t a champion match, Norton probably would have gotten the nod in their third fight but it wasn’t as decisive as people make out.9

[@elmeranderson758]

Ken Norton was the smartest boxer that the great Muhammad Ali ever fought. I think Norton won all 3 fights, honestly.

[@sakibsiraji6799]

You are smart than judge 😂😂

[@mustafaatalay212]

Ali won two match out of 3. Excuses are meaningless

[@youtoo2233]

I think Ali won all 3

[@active.7universal]

that's what you get for thinking

[@TonyMishima92]

​@@mustafaatalay212 Look at the stats. Overall, Ali landed 199 of 709 punches while Norton landed 286 of 635 punches, per Bob Canobbio's CompuBox statistics. Norton both landed more punches and had far better accuracy (45% vs 28%). Norton also landed 192 power punches to Ali's 128.

[@marleneduchossoy2444]

😍😍😍😍

[@FootballRefHater]

Norton was robbed in the 3rd fight vs Ali, the judges should've been hog-tied and flogged for what they did to Norton. Norton may have won all three fights between them

[@headroomdave3468]

Norton one all three fights

[@nickslade3978]

Learn to spell

[@normandoughty8737]

I watched the 3rd fight live, watched it several times afterwards. Norton won, Ali lost. Don King as a promoter and paid judges, that says it all.
