    Bob never had much success at heavyweight, would he be able to beat the GOAT?

    If Foster can bust him up or have a ref who calls out Tony's fouls, he can win. Tony's face and tactics betrayed him but not his chin.

    For ****s sake, what is the fascination with Tony Galento on this forum?

    God knows I'm actually quite tired of all the Tony Galento trolling to be quite frank.

    All Galento has to do is make 176 lbs., and he fight is his.

    Great as he is Foster is dependent on a knockout & somewhat frail at Heavy. He’s the far superior fighter but he can neither put Galento away nor survive the incoming. Galento will at some point KO him.

    No one as crude and unsophisticated as Galento ever dented Bob. And Galento was just a fat middleweight if we be honest, 5 foor 8 and 72" reach.

    I see Bob humbling this guy.

    If the Louis and Baer whoopings didn't humble Tony, nobody would.

    It says a lot about Louis and Baer's era imo.

    It says a lot more about Tony Galento just being a stubborn ass incapable of accepting he lost imo

    It's wild how much low effort brain rot there is on here between all the Tommy Morrison & Galento posts.

    Galento was the prototype of David Tua. He was the Tua before there was Tua. They had the same physical build, iron chin, detonating left hook and similar skills. If Tua and Galento fought, both in their prime, it could be a close one. Probably a draw or a SD that fans would argue over forever.

    Galento was the forerunner of David Tua TBH
