Norton was 70 and had congestive heart failure.

He did more than anyone to make Ali a legend.
I watched as he fought Tex Cobb. He wore Tex's jaws out for about five rounds and could do nothing more than make him blink. After five rounds of pummeling Cobb, he was completely exhausted, he won a split decision

Have to bump this to get on the first page. Norton was a beast. I am surprised that nobody has mentioned that he is the ONLY one to have ever broken Alis jaw. Was fun to watch him fight because he was a brawler with decent boxing skills. If this dude had Floyd "Moneyman" defense he would have gone undefeated. JMO. RIP to Mr. Ken Norton. Thanks for the memories.
