George Foreman
Jerry Quarry
Jimmy Young
Ken Norton
Larry Holmes


I think he loses most or all of em but only Big George stops him.

I think his best shot is against Norton on that list.

I could see him beating Norton and Quarry, but not Holmes, Young and Foreman though the latter would have been a gangbuster brawl if there ever was one.

For me.

Bonavena stops a tough and game Jerry Quarry on cuts in the mid to later rounds, against Larry Holmes he gets jabbed to death but finishes the fight on his feet. Against Foreman who in the first part of his career was an brutual KO artist until the Rumble in the Jungle, Foreman just batters him into submission. As for Young and Norton I am not sure.

He's not beating any of those guys. Norton and Quarry would've busted up Oscar badly. Only bout I'd give him a chance in is Young as Bonavena's awkwardness would probably give Young some issues, but I see Young adjusting and picking Oscar off in the middle-late rounds.

Agreed.
