I love Kenny Norton.

I seriously hope everything will be ok.

We can't lose Frazier, Dundee, and him all in the span of 6 months or so.

I hope that it was not a bad stroke. all i can do is hope for the best, i suppose.

some people suffer strokes and make full recoveries. some people are never the same.

here's what he looked like in his prime. when he was in fighting shape he looked like he was carved out of wood or marble..




this one was on the cover of the boxing register for years. it's one of the first books i ever owned about boxing. i was probably less than ten years old. i think they're still releasing new editions.

Unfortunately, the people Ive known never fully recovered from their stroke and its saddening. Strokes are a scary thing, the way they can just change people.

Hopes and prayers are with Kenny. Hope he recovers well.

Hope it wasn't too serious. That's not any easy thing for the person that suffered the stroke or their family.

I find it amazing how someone like Ken Norton can have a stroke and only 4 hours later, the whole world knows.

One the GOAT heavies. Reminds me of something M. Buffer said about Frazier, "206 pounds of chiseled ebony steel" or something along those lines. We can only wish Kenny the best. Love the guy as a fighter. True gladiator.

Btw, the BC' belt was ****ing crazy awesome in 78'.

Norton is the essence of a Warrior! Take no prisoners and its him or me!! Ray.
