The Bonavena of the Ali fight versus Spinks who went up against the ageing legend in their first bout.

I see Spinks building up an early points lead due to his faster punching but Bonavena would keep steaming in,and knock Leon out around the halfway mark.

Not quite sure when it would happen, but happen i think it would...Leon getting caught with something crude and nasty... chances are he may even run onto/into "ït " he did climb all over Bernardo Mercado..but Bernard was taller and a bit of a slow robort to which Leon could be an annoying Bee ..until the moment came when the multiple of Stings caught up with him, but i dont think that ability exists here, this is more like a Jack Russell acting like a bulldog - finding himself up against a genuine Bull, and sooner or later one of Oscar's retaliatory bullrushes will land with something...Leon's not exactly a matador and gets gored..After Joe Frazier...Maybe even George Chavalo...Oscar should be able to cope with Leons Hyper-buzz..it just might take awhile for the swotter to land right. but land i think it would...
