Man they don't box like this anymore (because 15 rounds was dangerous) but still two wills of steel there. It's actually crazy how overlooked both of these guys are as far a great boxers go.
Heavyweight uppercuts. 
Holmes's hooks.

Ali is my boy....but I still feel Norton got jerked fighting him at Yankee Stadium. Ken won that fight IMO.

I agree. That match was also a testament to how tough Ali was because those punches were brutal.

I don't know how Larry got up from that. Ali took some shots from Shavers too.
It's also a testament to Mike Tyson. Dude knocked Larry out COLD.

Follow me to the truth
they were both on fumes. Thought Larry was gonna get his teeth knocked out after he lost his mouth piece. Thought Norton was gonna hit the ground after he got hit and stumbled.They were throwing bombs. How they were both standing at the end is a thing that science can't explain. That was a great 3 minutes

Gahdamn sound like bones were broken after that punch. Sounded like a fat woman cracking chicken wings open at the local wing stop
