RIP Ken Norton

One of the few men to ever shut up Muhamad Ali died today. RIP Ken Norton. Stay golden dude, stay golden.

In his prime, he had the build of a Greek statue.
He looked like he would tear your head off, if he hit you.

What's the story behind the decision in that third bout? Is there justification in claiming the judges robbed him?

I don't think Norton was robbed. Back then and to this day it's very difficult to take the crown off the champ without knocking him out.
