"I can tell you this: Ali had tremendous respect for him. He had that awkward style, where he’d shoot his jab up from the waist, and it was very unusual. Most guys throw the jab from the shoulder, and that always gave Ali trouble." Norton was 42-7-1 with 33 knockouts and briefly held the WBC heavyweight title. He was awarded the WBC belt in 1978 when then champion Leon Spinks opted to face Ali in a rematch rather than defend it against Norton.
