Ken Norton vs Prime Muhammad Ali (1966/67)

I believe Ken Norton's style would give Prime Muhammad Ali trouble.

Ali was just 31 years old in 1973,and was in top condition in the 2nd fight.He was dancing and moving better than in any fight after his exile.I believe he was close to the 1966/67 version of a Prime Muhammad Ali.

I believe a Prime Muhammad Ali would win in a close fight,something like 8-6-1.

Norton's style just matched up well against Ali, so Ali would never have an easy fight against Norton, but in his prime it wouldn't be as splitting hairs close as they were post-exile. Ali would win.

Norton could cut off a ring,Norton could pressure,Norton could jab,Norton had a left hook,Yep,Holmes and Ali will always have trouble with Norton.

in the second fight ali was great the first 5 rounds, but then started to slowdown.
against earnie terell ali was even in the last rounds throwing combinations.
just my opinion, but i think ali would win a wide UD or late TKO.
