The Tony's slug it out: Galento vs Tucker

Come again?

 

Tucker is the favorite under my rules.

I am fine with saying that.

Galento was very successful as a contender, but he was somebody who should have been significantly less successful, relative to the other contenders around at the time.

Tucker is somebody who you would intuitively expect to be a successful contender in any era.

He has a major stylistic advantage over Galento.

He might just have been a lineal champion, if he had got certain mandatory title shots.

 

No, but it is a given that he would have tried!

 

I hope this Galento and his left hook was a joke or maybe he loves Galento's beautiful body and ignore
the objectivity.

 

No. Two Ton was way more suave and debonair.

 

Tucker was far more skilled & had great whiskers. Galento had great power, a chin, & some hand speed.
At worst he would get a decision, like Max Baer.
But I think he boxes Galento silly & may take him out late.

I would like to hear the barrel carrying story.
I have never heard Two Ton described as under 5' 9"-show me the reference to 5' 8" anywhere.
With his shape he looked shorter.

 

Douglas didn't go to work on Tyson on the inside. Douglas put on a clinic at range and kept him mostly out of that favored midrange with brilliant jabbing, solid right hands and excellent lateral movement. He tied him up in close when need be. Holyfield mostly mauled Tyson inside more so than fought. The big thing is he let his hands go often when Tyson was barrelling into that mid range.

Galento was a sitting duck compared to Tyson. He makes Tyson look like Wilfred Benitez defensively. Galento wouldn't be getting inside as easily as he did against guys like Max Baer. Tucker is taller than Baer and employs a much much better jab. He'd make the onrushing Galento pay. Galento did have a fine left hook but Tucker would soak it up if need be.

Bowe would decimate Tony.

 

Tucker would use his massive physical advantages to chop up Galento. Probably a mercy stoppage in the mid rounds.

 

TUCKER IN 5
