, with Ali officially winning narrowly both returns, although many felt Norton truly deserved their 3rd fight. Norton was awarded the WBC title (by virtue of his win over Jimmy Young in a 1977 title elimination bout) when Leon Spinks declined a mandated title defense against Norton, the No. 1 contender. But Ken lost it in his first defense on a split-decision by 1 point to

Early years
Norton was an outstanding athlete at Jacksonville High School. He was a member of the state championship

team and was selected to the all-state team on defense as a senior in 1960. His track coach entered him in eight events and Ken placed first in all. As a result, the "Ken Norton Rule" was instituted in Illinois high school sports which limits participation of an athlete to a maximum of three track and field events. After graduating from high school, Norton went to Northeast Missouri State University (now

Boxing career

to regain the heavyweight title in 1974).
Almost six months later, on 9/10/1973, Ali avenged the Norton loss, but only just, when he got the return by another split-decision. There were some furious exchanges in this hard fought battle. From Ali's point of view, a loss here would have seriously dented his claim of being 'The Greatest'.

by decisively knocking-out Garcia in round five.
Third Ali match
In 1976 Norton would again fight Ali, who was now the World Heavyweight Champion since regaining the title with an eighth round knockout of George Foreman in 1974. Many observers have felt this was the beginning of Ali's decline as a boxer. In one of the most disputed fights in history, the fight was even on the judges' scorecards going into the final round, which Ali won on both the referee and judges' scorecards to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. The judges scored the bout 8-7 for Ali and the referee scored it 8-6 for Ali.

scorecard was 9-6 for Ali. But Ali had received a pounding. His tactics were to try to push Norton back but they had failed. He'd refused to 'dance' until the 11th in sheer desperation, although the crowd then roared its appreciation.

Only a year later Norton retired from the ring temporarily in 1979 following a draw with

. Norton carried the match until sustaining an injury when he took a thumb in the eye in the eighth round, which immediately changed the bout (Norton was down in the 10th and narrowly survived being stopped). Norton didn't like the way his career ended, so at the advanced age of 37, he staged a comeback in 1980 and beat previously undefeated, tough if basic Randall "Tex" Cobb by a split-decision in an all-action bout.
In 1981 Norton accepted a title-eliminator bout with new top prospect

) also received the "Napoleon Hill Award" for positive thinking in 1973 (Norton, et al., 2000, p. 46).
In 2001, Norton was inducted by the San Diego Hall of Champions into the
Breitbard Hall of Fame honoring San Diego's finest athletes both on and off the playing surface.

Style
Norton was a forward, pressing fighter/boxer who was distinguishable for a unusual blocking/coverup style characterised by arms held across the torso or head,with the left arm lowest and right hand sometimes up by right or left ear (reminiscent of
Archie MooreArchie Moore, born Archibald Lee Wright , was light heavyweight world boxing champion who had one of the longest professional careers in the history of that sport....
). This style is referred to as a "cross-armed defense". He'd then bob and weave his way in with well placed heavy punches.

later used the same guard during his comeback, as did

. It tends to look crab like. Norton was best when advancing. He'd drag or slide the right foot behind notably. Most conventional boxers have elbows in and forearms vertical alongside one another with both gloves being near the face. Most trainers believe the conventional style is a better defence and that the cross-arm leaves the user open far too often.
But Norton's style was in itself fascinating. Norton gave Ali more trouble than anyone else in history over three matches. No small feat by any standard. Ken could as they say in the trade 'box' or 'fight'. Norton was never fazed by Ali's various famous tactics like clinching or rope a dope. In fact Ali usually found rope-a-dope a particularly unpleasant experience here as Norton would get many punches through. Ali's famous clinching & holding or launching sharp shots from a distance were all for various reasons not as effective as when Ali fought Frazier, the only other man he fought three times.
Angelo DundeeAngelo Dundee is an American boxing cornerman. He is best known for his work with Muhammad Ali , and has worked with 15 world boxing champions, including Sugar Ray Leonard, José Nápoles, George Foreman, Jimmy Ellis, Carmen Basilio, Luis Rodriguez and Willie Pastrano.-Professional career:Born in...
wrote Ken's best punch was the left hook, many others went for the wild overhand right, whilst Norton himself in a Ring Magazine article said a right uppercut to Jerry Quarry was the hardest blow he recalled landing. So, as typical, nobody agrees all round.
Unlike many boxers, Norton would often not attempt to outstare an opponent before the match started as announcements were made. He'd often look down at the floor gathering his thoughts. He was also widely noted for his fine athletic build.
