    I'm wondering if Sharkey could beat Bonavena?

    I wouldn’t dismiss the possibility.

    It'd be great while it lasted!

    But Joe smokes Sharkey inside 5 rounds.

    Frazier (Swarmer) vs Sharkey (swarmer)

    Power: Frazier
    Speed: Frazier
    Chin: Frazier
    Footwork: Not applicable
    Stamina: Sharkey
    Technique: Frazier
    Accuracy: Frazier
    Combinations: Sharkey
    Ring IQ: Frazier
    Heart: Even

    6-1-2 advantage Frazier.

    The first 2 rounds would be a fun, phone booth brawl with both guys slamming into each other like bighorn sheep. They'd let their hands go at a break neck pace with powerful body shots, uppercuts, hooks, not to mention frequent clashes of heads, elbows, shoving, and shoulder bumping. The crowd would be on their feet in awe of the sheer brutality.

    Then around the 3rd round, Tom would be cursing like a sailor once Frazier draws blood with a hellacious hook and stalks him like a shark. Frazier's advantages in speed, defense, technique, and accuracy make a huge difference as he increases the intensity and is landing at will on the bloodied and battered Sharkey. The barrel chested Sharkey continues to throw and gets clocked hard by a right to the body+double hooks to the head combo that drops him to 1 knee, but he gets up and continues to throw vicious punches with no quit in him.

    Verdict: Frazier TKO round 4. The ref has to save Tom from himself and a prolonged, potentially career ending beating.
