    I watched Ringo against Ali the other night and got to wondering how he would do against Hasim Rahman.

    Both were chunky, strong guys. Bonavena fought in a really strong era, but Rahman was quite a bit heavier.

    Who prevails?

    I give Rahman a slight edge here.

    Bonavena knocks Rahman out cold, like he was so many times in his career. Rahman had one of the worst glass jaws in the HW division in the last 20 years.

    I think you're right about that...Oscar would have had his way with the one trick pony.

    You couldn't easily time or predict Oscar's punches. Rahman wouldn't have known what to do with him.
