Shamrock Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Awesome boxer & great man. What an era for boxing too. Life's battles dont always go to the stronger or faster man, but sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can! One of my favourite quotes.
Gugny Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Indeed a great fighter and man. Likely the only man who could leave this life saying, "I once broke Ali's jaw." R.I.P.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I remember being so impressed after his defeat of Ali when he said he had himself hypnotized before the fight - coolest thing ever.
Helpmenow Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Good fighter. Got smoked by Foreman and Cooney, never fought frazier. However may you rest in peace.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Larry Holmes got his belt by defeating Norton in a 15 round epic. The fight was a split decision with all three judges having it tied entering the final round and scoring the fight 143-142. It's considered one of the greatest fights in boxing history. Holmes would end up defending that title 20 times before losing it to Michael Spinks however he said the Norton fight was the toughest of his 75 fight professional career. RIP Norton.
