Let me say that what they ALL said, was exactly what came to pass.

Frank: In your book you say Ali is the best ever. Do you believe that?
Norton: As far as I’ve been around, yes.
Frank: Is Ali the best fighter you ever fought?
Norton: Yes.
Frank: Who was stronger, Muhammad Ali or Larry Holmes?
Norton: Oh Ali definitely, Ali was very strong but because he wasn't a one punch KO artist it is overlooked. Hitting Ali in the body or on the arms was like hitting a piece of cement.
Think before you speak. Or at least read a book.
I don't mean to be rude, but........do you feel that enemies are pointing electronic "rays" at you to make you ill, or sap your strength, or ........etc???
I was talking just at lunchtime- a few hours ago- with an acquaintance of both Duran and Cabbalero, and believe me, even allowing for a certain language difficulty, it was fascinating. So stop shovelling drek.

I can repeat what those who actually boxed and stepped in the ring with Ali, said. And this beats any of your so called "experts" who never boxed a day in their lives.

Step your game up, Egg head.

You're another Tunney. I'll let you figure that out. "Electronic rays?" Are you insane?

There's no point in quoting an item from a BOOK written by someone hoping to make money from it, and, knowing everyone believes he beat Ali 3 times, would get considerable reflected glory from people believing that Ali was the best ever. In fact Norton doesn't even say that he says, whilst HE was around. That only covers a few years.
And....so that I don't waste any more time on your futile rubbish, I'd like you to read again what I said. I referred to WRITERS...ANALYSTS....EXPERTS, specifically. And in "experts" I did no include fighters themselves, unless they were long retired, had made their name as experts, and were recognised as being very knowledgeable. Like for instance, Nat Fleischer, the Founder and Publisher of Ring Magazine for over 50 years, when it was known as "The Bible of Boxing" and Fleischer was known as Mr. Boxing".

If you consider, I am actually paying you a compliment by even considering that you could get a wife, and by extension (no pun intended) children.
