In a 12 rounder.
The 1993 Defensive minded boxer-puncher version of Morrison vs the 1970 teeing off wailing away version of Bonevena.
Morrison 6'2 with a 76" reach. Bonevena 5'10. Reach was 72, I think.
I see Oscar getting caught early on, and going down a couple of times, then getting a second wind and knocking down Tommy in the mid rounds. I dont think that Oscar would be able to put Tommy away though. I think that this would go the distance, with Morrison winning a 6-4-2 type of decision.
Tommy Morrison vs Oscar Bonavena
Re: Tommy Morrison vs Oscar Bonavena
Morrison may be able to pull off a close 7-5 type verdict, though I can't see him doing anything remotely powerful enough to hurt Bonavena. Nor would it surprise me to see Oscar beat Tommy in a similar verdict.
Re: Tommy Morrison vs Oscar Bonavena
Morrison had tools to outbox Bonavena. In a slugfest in would be 50-50. I'd pick the rational version of Tommy to secure a dec.

Angrygoon, Ringo had a 73 inch reach. Anyways, the Duke would out-box and out-punch Ringo from long range to take a decision.

Re: Tommy Morrison vs Oscar Bonavena
Morrison's chin would not hold up if Bonavena got to him enough. At some point, he probably would.
