I pick Norton. Bonavena was a strong aggressive roughouse type of fighter who gave the world's best problems. He was a solid puncher but not...
My view has evolved on this one since I first commented on it twelve years ago. I now select Leonard by UD in a fast paced great fight.
One of the best British heavies without a doubt. Met him once. A great ambassador for boxing too.
Thank you,Fogger.
How I see it. Both men would get shaken up during the fight but Ali comes through to win by the margin you suggest. I still see these guys as...

Food for thought,definitely. Obviously,even had he been healthy and did n't take thyrolar,he would still have been too over the hill to have...
Certainly ONE of the most compete fighters ever. And one of the very greatest pound for pound.
I can also see Bonavena lasting the distance. If James 'Bonecrusher' Smith and Mitch Green can go all the way with a prime Tyson,there's no...
That's what I think Fergy. Herol was one of the best British fighters never to have become a world champion.
