first of all, Norton was 38 at the time, furthermore he delivered fights harder than foreman (going to the limit with Ali, Holmes and Young), who annihilated his opponents within 3 rounds, it was normal that Norton was more worn out than foreman who even at 40, had a physical appearance and an incredible power

[chrislarissa]

Fuckin hell was the referee waiting for Norton to be killed before he stopped the fight.

How many more punches to the head should Norton have taken before its a good stoppage-moron

[Anders2989]

Do not hate Gerry for this late stoppage, it's the referees job to say it's enough, in this situation it's so much adrenalin you have to be stopped yourself if you know what I mean.

Norton would have done the same very likely in Gerry's situation.

Gerry was never afraid of bang it out with anyone,. win or lose, do not take his victouries away from him please, he earned them with hard work.

He was not the best but he was an entertaining fighter, no doubt.

and cooney didn't do well himself especially against larry holmes who gave out the worst beating ever to a fighter.

@combatesdeboxeo not Tyson LOL

@loyaldude10 foreman was retired in 1977 because he would have problems always against stylists like ali,young or holmes, but foreman 1978-85 would have bombed out guys like berbick,cooney,leon and michael spinks, tex cobb,norton,tyson,coetze,evang­elista,bugner,marvis frazier,shavers....

[combatesdeboxeo]

@loyaldude10  norton was past his prime, but styles make fights, cooney would destroy prime norton as well, kenny never did well against big punchers

[Da2faan]

disgusting fighters who wack there opponents even though they on there knees

[BruceinFalkirk]

At least 4 punches too many and with such a huge man dishing it out, Ken Norton was lucky not to be killed.

This referee is useless.

[takashijoh]

Norton could have died. Its fight like this that give boxing a bad name. No need for this. ref should have stepped in much, much earlier. somehow, I suspect that if it was his son, he'd be in there stopping the fight as soon as it was clear he was in trouble - SMDH.

[NHLbrawler]

Gerry Cooney was so proud of himself beating up an over the hil Ken Norton and what a horrible job by referee Tony Perez. I'm glad that the great white dope Cooney would get his ass handed to him in future bouts.

Back when I could name a boxer.
