I just finished watching the Griffith-Paret II and I did not agrre with the judges decision of Paret winning the fight. To me, Griffith was the better of the two, and won all the 3 times they fought.

What you guys think of this fight and their trilogy???

I have not seen completely the Ali-Norton II fight. Just clips of it. But I saw fight #1 and #3 and I also see that Norton won those fights. I am a big Ali fan, but I do not think he beat Norton in the rubber match. How do you see those trilogies???

I agree. Ali did not beat Norton in the rubber match in my eyes. Ive studied that fight several time and thought Norton should have at least gotten a draw out of it. Very close fight.

For me Norton won the first one though Ali was pretty impressive getting through with a broken jaw.

I agree with the judges on all three fights. Norton wins one, Ali wins 2 and 3. But it's close and I understand the difference of opinion. No one could compete with Ali in the way that Norton could, he just about had his number.....but not quite.

1st Griffith-paret fight- paret was ahead on points when griffith knocked him out in 13th very comptetive match

2nd fight bad decision i though griffith pulled it out,

3rd fight- paret knocks griffiith down in 6th, great fight until sad tragic ending in 12th

ali-norton 2- Ali 6 rounds to 5 with one even

ali norton 3- 7 rounds to 7 with 1 even DRAW
