one of the great underated heavyweights

Sad news, a great athlete as well as a boxer, got the better of Ali in their meetings.

It seems to be the way that boxers die younger than average man on the street.

yeh sad news, norton was of the golden age with foreman ali and frazier, between them they had some of the greatest fights in history, though I dont feel his trilogy with ali gets the same recognition like ali's other battles with the above named!
Also with frazier dieing at 67, norton 70 ali still going into his 70s and forman looking as good as ever, its seems to me they are not dying any younger than the average man in the street even thought they have had around 200 fights between them, this is probably due to the fitness levels they acheived throughout there lives even if there brains have been sadly damaged along the way!

RIP, thanks for the memorys
