    Yes it certainly IS realistic.

    If he can go 15 rounds with a prime Frazier, whose KO ratio was 27 /32 at the time, he might well do as well as James Tillis who went the distance with Tyson despite being stopped a half dozen times previously.

    It's possible he could get get blown out early, but i's certainly realistic to see Ringo finish on his feet.

    I have to point out that Tillis was a mover. Bonavena was a straight ahead brawler who would be plodding forward into Tyson with a bullseye on his chin. Tyson was a harder and faster puncher than Fraizer who threw combination and would be at least 15 pounds heavier than Bonavena.
