Watching this again, I'm reminded of how great it was, and how each guy fought until the last possible second. If I were judging, I would have given Norton the decision, but only because he was the champ going in.

@shellbsd23 As much as I love watching these old fights I have to agree, people cast the past in gold and if you say otherwise are an idiot. People were claiming Marciano and Louis would beat Tyson and they're still making the same comparisons with today's heavyweights. These old fighters were great but the klitschkos would more then hold their own in any era, people just hate change

@shellbsd23 they fought and beat each other you moron! far more competition back then, smae as middle weights had haggler, leonard, duran and hearns all fighting and beating one another. you are clearly an idiot who lacks basic manners and intelligence. bye

@kevham09 that doesnt make any sense.. if we use your logic then the same would apply for ali, foreman and frazier. who did they beat to become such legendary otherworldly heroes? your comebacks are weak and your logic is flawed, i'm done discussing boxing with someone who has the intelligence of a 5 year old. have a nice life

@shellbsd23 not cursing, and thanks for proving my point! you just praised 3 nobodys to try and make the klitschkos look good. take the tinted glasses off and wake up. fact is that they are over rated terrible boxers who have lost to journey men. vitali in a league of his own ha ha ha thats so funny.... thanks i needed a laugh.

@kevham09 Conclusion: Wladimir's losses came from very talented fighters with agressive fighting styles. Wladimir has obviously grown and learned a lot from his tough losses, because he does not lose anymore :) not even a round.. Vitali is just in a league of his own. Stop being so rude, what are u like 10? No need for cursing

@kevham09 you really have a wrong view of top fighters. 1. Corrie Sanders was a huuge talent with 38 wins and 2 losses before he faced wladimir. He would have given any great HW of the past a hell of a fight with chances of winning! 2. Lamon Brewster also a huge talent 29 wins 2 losses when he fought Wladimir. Back then Wladimir took risks and had problems with agressive fighters 3. Ross Purity did not have a great record, but back then he was a contender and fought an amazing fight..

@shellbsd23 you will see how silly that comment is when a nobody beats one of them and it will happen, actually nobodys have beaten them, ross puritty, corrie sanders, lamon brewster & chris byrd! such powerhouses ha ha, just look at what lewis dod to vitlali, he nearly killed him! they are so slow that ali would have time to leave the ring for a piss and come back in before the punch is landed. get a life you moron

larry holmes was a great champion, his record says it all, seen most of his fights he was one of the best of all time,

I saw this fight when it occurred and I still think that it ranks as the best fight in boxing. Ken Norton won in my view. Larry had to be taken out in a stretcher.
