    Interesting that both fought Ali. Going with Berbick by UD because he actually won a version of the Heavyweight Title.

    A bit of a rough fight with little finesse .I'll go Berbick by decision.

    Berbick is getting more play than I thought

    Though one could argue that Berbick may not have won a title if he fought 10-15 years earlier or If there weren't multiple belts around

    Bonavena was a bit of a Rythym breaker and strong, Oscar either stops Berbick or wins a UD over 10

    Saying Oscar if he’s at his best. He’s always been a wasted talent guy to me. Heard he slacked on training. Not sure how true that is though.

    I think Bonavena beats Berbick, every day of the week.

    I do too...Berbick wasn't that good...and Oscar was better then advertised.

    There's not a whole lot seperating these two honestly ,in talent or resume ..in fact they remind me of each other.

    Trevor would have his moments, but Oscar would dominate for a UD.

    Yeah I lean more towards Oscar by UD as well. But a Berbick win wouldn't necessarily be an upset. Unless it was a KO win

    Bonavena shows up for the Berbick pre-fight weigh-in....and instead going "pee-peep-peep" (chicken), like he did
    against Ali, he has some dead chicken Voodoo chite to put a curse on Berbick.


    "Obeah (Voodoo) is not a phenomenon owned by a single culture. It is true that Obeah, linguistically, is Jamaican Patois. However, the practices and beliefs that make up modern Obeah have roots not only in the traditions of the Caribbean, but in the traditions of Africa, of Europe, India and even the North American continent. This is not an inclusive list. There are many High Scientists who incorporate work as far away as the Aborigines of Australia. The reason Obeah is called Science is because it has never been afraid to adopt and use any type of magic that works."
