    I think this is a good fight. Galento was fast and had a mean left hook. He also was 240 pounds of a tank. It's a good possibility that Quarry loses here.

    Geez, Jerry had it tough enough as it was. Don’t throw him in with this killer.

    People say Quarry was mismanaged and then @InMemoryofJakeLamotta waltzes in here and shoves him into a buzzsaw.

    Mathis was nigh 240, fast, and had a mean left hook... I've always had a sneaking suspicion that Buster was Tony in a ghillie suit.

    Quarry pounds Galento unmercellessly but Galento has punchers chance like Chuvalo. And we know our hero Quarry was flawed especially prone to defensive mistakes. At their best if I had to bet my house going with quarry.

    Galento might have his moments, even stun Quarry but Jerry s superior skill set would be too much.
    He'd turn a sloppy brawl in to a beating.
    Quarry by tko 6-8 rounds.

    Quarry would counterpunch him to hell. You can point at Quarry´s dismantling of Shavers, Mac Foster, Lyle and Thad Spencer to see what he would do to Galento.

    Galento was tough and deceptive landing his hook but he wasn´t difficult to hit and he got busted up with ease.

    Quarry in 6 due to cuts or by ko in 10.

    Galento was like Tua with an even more potent left hook
