Bonavena never knocked out anybody in the top ten , did beat 4 Martin, Mildenberger, Chuvalo and Middleton Jerry beat 9 knocked out 5 (2 of those kayoes were ranked #1) Jerry inked a pact to fight 3 times, Bonavena pulled out of all three ONE 1973, BONAVENA STATED HE NEEDED MORE TIME TO TRAIN, AND THESE GUYS WERE GLADIATORS, HE PROBABLY DID NEED MORE TIME TO TRAIN (MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ). -(And-we will never know.)
DePaula knocked Tiger down twice and Foster once (although it was a brief knockdown), anyone who can do that's a good puncher. DePaula won 16 of 21 fights by knockout. But Frazier was a Philly fighter anyhow, fought much like Rocky. How is Weaver like Rocky? I mean, he's a bit of a Cinderalla man, but he didn't fight like Rocky. Rocky was pressure fighter and a brawler. Weaver was a do-nothing fighter with a good jab that reversed incredible points advantages with dramatic one-punch knockouts late in fights.
Well William Weaver beat they odds, Frazier the odds were on ALL ON him, I of course knew of Depaula , did not know he was that much of a socker, (pretty good) HARD TO TELL, one thing we can agree on the wepner was all hype, i would go with Chuvalo maybe , but he was a seasoned contender, who did not have to worry about his towel or locker
i did not say anything about a knockout either fighter, just stated facts, i'll go with Quarry to win, period. see fans i say no Quarry-Bonavena comparisons! just they other bouts mentioned ALWAYS ONE ON BOXING 24
I was thinking more of styles, rather than Weaver being an underdog, in that way he is much like Rocky, although he looks more like Apollo.
oh I agree he was robbed. His reaction to it however was funny given that his biggest career moments were built on the receiving end of gifts.
Yeah that Ali fight was the beginning of the end. Thad Spencer stopped him in his very next fight and he never beat a top contender again. Prior to the Ali fight, he had a real impressive run going. He beat Doug Jones, Machen, George C, Folley, Bob Foster and Cleveland Williams. Not too shabby.
What a simpleton. Go back to the general forum. Dumb ****. I exposed you like a total idiot. "I did not say anything about a knock out" And then i copy and paste his post and he gets exposed like a total idiot lmao. Don't quote me anymore nerd.
THERE'S ALWAYS ONE ON BOXING 24, AND THIS MARICON IS NO EXCEPTION! ITS EZ SLEEZY, YOU DO NOT LIKE MY BOXING POSTS, STAY OFF THEM! ANYTIME AHOLE ANY TIME, I SEE YOUR NICE AND SAFE BEHIND AS A WEB WARRIOR , YOUR MOMMA A SIMPLETON HERSELF, SAID YOU WOULD DO A QUARRY -BONAVENA COMMENT , AFTER I ASKED THE REAL BOXING FANS NOT REQUIRED, SHE WAS A REAL RAG- PERIOD.!
