Born in 1943 Norton clearly past his best at this time, was much older than his stated age and his heart was no longer in the sport. but I still had him a clear winner.
KEN NORTON was a great fighter. but his one major flaw was he always folded and was destroyed by real POWER PUNCHERS , DEVASTATING PUNCERS like EARNIE SHAVERS, FOREMAN and COONEY easily knocked him out quick, and he always fought scared and timid when facing those BOMBERS. He gave MUHAMAD ALI tough fights, simply because ALI is not a devastating puncher
To be fair Foreman, Shavers and Cooney were probably the 3 hardest punchers in boxing history and capable of knocking out anybody, Norton was dispirited and old when he fought Shavers and Cooney and fought Foreman without his trainer Eddie Futch. Garcia hit Norton after the bell and Norton knock him out in the rematch.
