Supposing Oscar Bonavena got the nod in first Frazier fight.?

Ringo would've gone on to cut a gargantuan swathe through the heavyweight division.

 

Oscar would've ended up champion, albeit temporarily.

 

I must have missed something Mendoza - I only see two knockdowns for Bonavena.

Scoring on a rounds system Frazier wins - but had it been the terrible 10-point must system Frazier would have been in trouble. Draw??

Woller

 

Other than the early knockdowns, Frazier pretty much won all the other rounds. In their eventual rematch, he kept Bonavena on the ropes for most of the 15 rounds and pounded away consistently to earn a workmanlike decision. I thought Frazier won just about every round of their rematch.

 

Can't read,can't write ,can't spell, and can't count. TWO knockdowns.
P S ,it's BONAVENA, not Bonevena or Bonevenna .

 

Frazier beat him clearly the first time, and dominated him the second

 

I laughed again. Then I laughed at having laughed before and not having remembered reading the thread. Ahhh, we have fun.

 

Oscar made a bigger mistake by trying to lay pipe on the wife of Mustang Ranch owner out in Nevada.

bonavena could bang - he had ali rockin in the 9th. woulda been a different fight in 1967. ali fought terrell in feb, folley in march, patterson was meant to be april, bonavena may - if that's true ali woulda been defending his title every month lol.
