    I think he could equal David Tua effort against Ibeabuchi. But he could possibly improve on Tua's performance and win by split decision.

    Galento is a better, more fit version of Tua. He knocks Ike out early.

    Ibeabuchi wreaks Galento.
    Probably earlier than Louis did.
    That's no knock on Louis ,
    just level of aggression of Ike.

    Galento couldn't even beat Baer, and Baer sucks. Ibeabuchi has his flaws, but Galento liked to punch it up and I think its obvious who is going to win that game.

    Ike outboxes, outworks, and very likely stops Tony with volume if not pure power.

    The Baer brothers were dangerous titans who were big, strong and could punch. Max Baer was heavyweight champion of the world.

    The very best Tua ever looked in a fight that wasn't over
    in a round or two.

    Baer was 6'2 and under 220lb for most of his bouts. "Titan"

    And he would still KO Anthony Joshua and probably Usyk.

    Right, so Galento would do likewise.
