Oscar Bonavena vs Prime Liston

BONAVENA WAS TOUGH AND A GOOD PUNCHER, BUT A PRIME LISTON WOULD HAVE TORN BONAVENA UP. LISTON'S JAB WAS A POWERFUL WEAPON AND WOULD HAVE LUMPED BONAVENA UP BEFORE A LISTON LEFT HOOK DROPPED HIM.

 

He would've take 2 life-altering beatings.

 

theres no way your gonna get Oscar in the Ring with either one!

 

Hmm? I seem to recall George leaving Lyle face down, is that the fight?

 

Lyle was more or less a physical match for Foreman, Bonavena was not ,either in stature or power.

 

He got in with Lyle.

 

Hey hook! Lyle came to a brain dead Foreman who was never going to be KO'd regardless; it was Lyle that I thought might be dead for pete's sake. Back to thread, Ellis dumped Ringo twice; Liston would pulverize Bonavena. What's this 14th round stoppage nonsense I'm hearing from some posters?

 

Yes, the fight that saw George down twice in one round and very close to being stopped.
