Bonavena-Wepner

[clark]

Who wins this in about '73-'75?

I'll go with Bonavena.

[red cobra]

Bonavena stops Wepner late, with a knockdown thrown in at the end.

[BIG DEE]

BIG DEE HERE= Bonavena by KO or TKO by the 5th rd. Possibly a butcher job on Wepner as Wepner couldn`t punch his way out of a paper bag. The first time my father saw him fight the first words out of his mouth were the guy can`t punch, look at that no snap he just pushes his punches and he was absolutely correct. Ali just toyed with him as hr could have cut him up and stopped him but held him up to justify his defense.

[Bummy Davis]

Ringo was the better of the 2 by far

[booradley]

I tend to agree with the consensus opinion. Bonavena was the better man all the way around.

[Unforgiven]

Bonavena was good.
Wepner was crap.

Ergo,
Bonavena win.

[he grant]

Oscar was several classes above the game but limited Wepner .. expect an ulgy, foul infested decision for Oscar ...
