Some of these are simply cases where one guy was clearly better. Not surprising that one guy won them all; maybe a little surprising in some cases that they fought more than twice.
I think Moore could have beaten Charles, just not the majority of the time. Same with Fullmer and Tiger. Ali and Norton should not even be in here.

I had Ali winning the 2nd fight with Norton by 7-4-1, and losing the 3rd by 7-6-2. Hardly a case of I can't beat this guy.

I believe that Ken Norton won all the 3 fights.

Not to mention that Ali was past his prime for all three. This doesn't belong on this thread at all.

The title of the thread is "No Matter How Many times I fight him, I can't beat this guy".
Ali did beat Norton.
Therefore, it doesn't belong on this thread.
