    Galento would moider da bum at that stage of his career.

    Any world class heavyweight would.

    Even ‘roided-up Old Man River Graybeard Tyson at that age isn’t beating Beer-Belly Galento.

    We just saw something similar with the Holyfield disaster. Galento would do about the same with Mike.

    I understand that Galento was not worthy to carry Tyson's spit bucket.

    However he was obviously better than men like Danny Williams, and Kevin McBride.

    Tyson has only got older since then!

    Tyson at this stage would lose. I don’t rate Galento to high but he’s being a little disrespected lately

    The question is will either manage to prevail over the other in conventional terms before a DQ is called?

    I think the most popular betting line with max. odds for the trifecta might be who gets DQ’d in what round and for what type of offence/foul.

    Andrew Golota will be at ringside, readied to challenge the winner and pick up some pointers along the way.

    I just watched his fight with Louis. I might not have started this thread in light of it. OTOH if he tries to hold Mike and punch him like he did Joe Mike ain't playing nice in return.

    @janitor said it all. There is nothing to add to his simple, accurate logic

    Galento was a bum, a walking piece of lard, not a world class heavyweight.
