    It's insane. Everyone wants to disparage Mr. Galento. He was a tank. Had a powerful left hook and iron chin. Much like David Tua. They even had similar builds. But we downplay Galento while upholding Tua.

    It’s an outrage, quite simply.

    It’s because of his Italian heritage lol. It’s because he was a lazy trainer, poor stamina, not great defense. Galento like Wilder could have been a champion but he was lazy and no one likes those who never teach their potential, he was entertaining as all heck though

    Galento would be the ATG in eating contests.

    I think someone should build a case for Mr. Galento being the greatest non-lineal-champion Heavyweight in the history of boxing. That will not be me, but somebody really should do that, SOON, before this vendetta gets out of hand.
