Roberto Aceves (September 25, 1916 – June 26, 1994), better known under the ring name Bobby Bonales, was a Mexican professional wrestler, who was active during the early days of pro-wrestling in Mexico, making his debut in 1934. Aceves’ son Daniel Aceves is an Olympic medal winner in Greco-Roman wrestling. As Bonales, Aceves held several championships including the NWA World Welterweight Championship, the Mexican National Middleweight Championship and the Mexican National Lightweight Championship. In recent years Mexican wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) has honored Bonales on several occasions. Known as La Maravilla Moreliana ("The Marvel from Morelia"); Bonales innovated the Topé Suicida wrestling moves.
