    I can picture Ringo in Dempsey s era, I think he fits in well.
    As for a title shot against the man himself, I see Jack being one of the few to stop Bonavena in a wild, exciting few rounds.

    Hi Buddy.
    Thinking that will not be a unique experience for Jack, stopping a wild, strong, brawling, Argentinian in a couple of rounds.
    stay safe Fergy.

    Wouldn't it just!
    Brennan had a fair bit of power in his shots (if I remember rightly?), be an interesting fight.

    Dempsey stops him in a good fight. Bonavena puts up a spirited effort and goes out on his shield.

    Bonavena fits in perfect here.
    Against dempsey, speed and mobility are the difference that brings the win.
