Bonavena tried to wind guys up, he probably knew that’d annoy Quarry, he also kept calling Ali ‘Clay’.
He said it in the run up to the match with Ali. What was Quarry supposed to do? Ali split his eye open like a melon. I'm watching the fight now again. I don't like to speak ill of the dead but Yank Durham and Howard Cosell killed it with their commentary.
Quarry would beat that slow plodder like a drum, he's tailor made for Quarry for whom Bonavena would be easy prey.
