Pinging other editors
editIn view of the fact that the main article, and also other Ali related fight articles, have been tagged for deletion i am pinging other editors who have edited Ali related articles, and who have not yet participated in this discussion, with a request to them to give their feedback on the article's deletion page: https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Muhammad_Ali_vs._Oscar_Bonavena
(If an editor has done editing on multiple articles, he or she is only being pinged once. Also, to save myself some trouble, i am only pinging people who have done editing on the Ali articles in 2016 and 2015. I am *not* pinging any IP editor, not pinging any blocked editor, and not pinging any editor who has already offered a comment in the discussion page.)

Note on the Torres book
editJose Torres was himself a professional boxer and his book 'Sting Like a Bee:The Muhammad Ali Story' has the most complete description of the Ali vs. Bonavena fight i have read so far. Torres begins talking about Bonavena on page 48 of his book, and by the time we are on page 69 we are actually in round 9 of the Ali-Bonavena fight. Unfortunately pages 70-101 of the book are not accessible to me (i am reading the book on google books). So i don't know when exactly Torres stops talking about the Ali-Bonavena fight and the fight's aftermath. Using a conservative estimate, i gave the page numbers as 48-70 when i gave the reference to the book in the main article, but this needs to be corrected in future.Soham321 (talk)
