“When I talk to youngsters today, especially those involved in athletic...” — Ken Norton Quote

“When I talk to youngsters today, especially those involved in athletics, I tell them to get their education first.”

“Ali had a break that was an inch and a half long, and you keep getting hit as hard and as much as I hit Ali, the pain would take over and you would pass out.”

“Hitting Ali in the body or on the arms was like hitting a piece of cement.”

“If athletics wasn't an option, I'd probably work at like a surf shop in Hawaii on the beach, just dishing out surf boards.”

“I wanted to be a father, and I wanted to be involved in my children's athletics, school stuff like that.”

“I'm a big proponent of women's athletics, and I think they have come so far in this country. It's given opportunities to young girls that they would never have had.”
