this thread to pass on the sad news and pay respect to Ken Norton who has passed away at the age of 70. One of few men whoever beat Ali in his prime. Was WBC champion in 1977 after Spinks chose to fight Ali in a re - match rather than defend against Ken.
Ken fought Ali three times. In the first fight with Ali, Ken broke Ali's jaw before going on to win on a split decision. Their third fight is remembered for the controversial split in Ali's when many thought Ken had done enough to win.
