Good match up. Moore KO's Bonavena in the 15th.
Smitty I don't think it would be impossible for Moore to be able to knock Bonavena out. Bonavena couldn't knock Folley out in their two bouts he even lost the first one. When Moore fought Ali he was old so that fight should not be used in comparison. The fight that should is the Marciano fight. Moore knocked him down just like he had 100's of fighters. Marciano got up though. I don't think that Bonavena could knock a prime Moore out. I would definitely side with Moore in this fight. Bonavena was also a serious partier how much better could he have been if he quit the night life which cost him his life eventually.

BONAVENA - W 58 (KO's 44) TF 68 - W pct 85% - KO pct 68% - wins over Chuvalo, Folley and K. Mildenberger - KO'ed by Ali
Never held title
One tough cookie
He was murdered in 1976
MOORE - W 185 (KO's 131) TF 220 - W pct 84% - KO pct 59% - wins over Maxim{3}, Durrell, Satterfield, H. Johnson[3], Olso and Bivins{5} - KO'ed by Patterson, Ali, Charles and Marciano (all Hwy wts) and 4 other Lt Hwy wt boxers - #4 ranked puncher - #14 ranked fighter
Considering the "Mongoose" Archie Moore was KO'ed by all the top 10 hwy wts that he fought. How could I logically have any other decision/opinion? In this bout, I have "Ringo" Bonavena winning by 10 rd KO.
Edit:
I am the correction fluid. Contrary to popular belief I don't live/love to correct others participants. People are entitled to their opinions. However, logically and boxing expert speaking how could Moore KO Bonavena (a top 10 Hwy wt) when he could not KO Ali, Patterson, Charles or Marciano.
My point is opinions have more validity when they are based in fact/logic and objectivity. Please people come correct.
"Mongoose" might beat "Ringo" but not by KO. Help 'em out Brad, Brent, Frank, Pancho, Panther and Santana.
