Foreman was a monster.. How Ali 'let him punch himself out' during that fight just boggles the mind.. Big George was just such a heavy hitter !!

LivinLOS,
Norton beat Ali once in three (the fight was in his hometown of San Diego too). He got his ass whooped by Foreman in Venezuela in 1974. He never fought Frazier. I recommend "When We Were Kings", a great doc video on Ali, Foreman, Frazier and Norton with them all together in the same room for the very first time. I very inspirational doc.
Only Ali beat all three of the others and never ducked anyone, which is why the mystic about him (not to mention standing up to the US military during the draft). The most underrated fighter in those days was Jimmie Young.
