Did Galento's attempts to smell terrible actually improve his performance?

There’s a bloke with next level halitosis at my work who insists on getting in my face when talking and I literally have to hold my breath to stop from gagging when he speaks to me.

if we were sharing a boxing ring I’d quit in the first 30 seconds just to get away from his breath. So I’d say this must have worked for Galento who looked like his BO would be as least as powerful as his left hook.

 

Marvin Johnson did that too, I've read. Just to make himself irritable. Not to mention those around him I assume.

 

Can you imagine the "ssshhhhhhhck" sound of him trying to unstick his body from his sheets in the morning? That'd **** anyone off.

 

I heard about Marvin Johnson but never heard Galento did same

 

Marvin Johnson used to say he didn't shower at all either when he was preparing for a fight.

 

Beat me to it.

 

Can you imagine fighting Valuev, and getting your face stuck in his sweaty, chest hair..

 

Not gonna lie i sometimes have 2 showers a day, a quick one before bed. So I do like my cleanliness, so if I had a big sweaty fellow like Galento stinking to high heaven clinching me. I think I'd actually throw up and have to throw in the towel.

 

It's only a concern once you start wearing empty Kleenex boxes on your feet.

 

This thread stinks.




Sorry.

 

Hah, you beat me too it. He would stop showering for a month. You can see the squiggly smell lines coming off him on film.

 

I was on a plane coming back from Palm Beach last week. Sitting in the first class cabin, a woman stopped next to me who stunk so bad I turning on the overhead air fan. My daughter and her husband and kids were on the same plane. Later on she told me that that woman and her husband were sitting behind them EATING HARD BOILED EGGS the entire flight and they stunk up the cabin. They were either farting all the time or the rotten egg smell just oozed out of their skin.

 

I watched a couple of them and tbh he still stunk.
