Do you believe that Jimmy Young was the rightful winner of his bout with Muhammad Ali? What about Ken Norton in their second and third matches?

The reason I wonder if Foreman was better than Ali is because it seems like Foreman was able to dominate Joe Frazier and Ken Norton, both men who posed incredible challenges to Ali. Is that right?
