Man, he couldn't have been that old. How'd he die?
Congestive Heart Failure. He had had a couple of strokes in the last few years too. He was 70.Norton felt he broke Ali's jaw in the 12 with a left hook, he mentioned that that was the point were Ali lost his pep and became a lot more respectful and defensive against him.
Suffered one of the most brutal kayos ever at the hands of Gerry Cooney.
70's Heavyweight Boxing was the greatest. Ali, Shavers, Norton, Frazier, Foreman, etc...They all took each other on, without question... RIP Ken..
...RIP Ken Norton, His fights against Ali and Norton showed that real old school Heart and Pride was a Quiet Humble sort of Guy with a Massive Heart alot like Joe Frazier didnt really say much....just got in there and Fought.
