Historical Note

Ali & Norton fought in 1973. Ali won this fight via split decision. But it was a rematch. Six months earlier these two had fought in San Diego and Norton had won. Broke Ali's jaw, actually. So Ali got his revenge. The rematch with Ali put an end to Norton's astounding 14-fight winning streak. Know who Norton credits with sparking his winning streak? Napoleon Hill - author of Think & Grow Rich. Apparently this book (a motivational book that features thirteen clearly enumerated principles for success) impressed Norton and led to his spree.
