I think that you would have to grant that Galento's top end win's were a bit better. Arreola typically lost when he stepped up, while Galento won some and lost some.
Arreola's prime was just blink and you miss it, and unimpressive to begin with - Vitali ended it really. Galento was real for a couple of years. I think Galento would get him. Fun fight either way.
Arreola... today May 9, 2022's version wherever he may be in whatever shape he may be in, would toy with and destroy Galento.
Yeah, fighting in the Klitschko era defiitely made him losing to Adamek and Stiverne (twice). He'd be amazing in other eras!
Given that Galento died decades ago, I would agree that he'd be able to toy with what left from Tony's corpse.
The Galento who resides in this forum is basically a prime David Tua supercharged with the grit and roughness of Rocky Marciano though.
Adamek and Stiverne, the world champions? Which one of Galento's 26 losses you wanna compare them to? You didn't need Joe Louis to beat Galento, just saying.
Champions of what? Wlad was the champion during that time, nobody else. I think you misinterpret my intentions here. I am not making the case for Galento, I am contesting the idea that Arreola is underrated. He isn't, he was never anything special. Galento lost around 23% of his fights, which isn't that far off Arreola's 16% by the way.
