RIP, nice guy. Met him at a Ali event in Louisville about 15 years ago. I remember several people trying to get his autograph at the same time. They were all females. Ken had a big smile on his face while he was saying "Ladies please I'm only human, there is plenty of me to go around". He signed a card for me and was very cordial. One of the better heavyweights of that era.

Class guy. Sorry to hear of his passing and the health problems he had over the past several years. He'll always be remembered by my generation in a positive light.

So sad, the death of another member of that great quartet. I met him once at a WBHOF event here in L.A. Nice man and super cool to fans.

The 15th rd of Holmes/Norton in 1978 may the best 15th rd in boxing history.
