    People laugh at Galento but what's there to laugh at? He was physically identical to David Tua, had the same chin and the same power and their signature punch was that deadly left hook. Galento was a 230 pound tank like Tua.

    You are almost single handedly the reason he gets lampooned.

    If the price for trying to gouge out someone's eyes and cripple them for life is strangers making fun of you after you are dead I think that's fair. Maybe I'm being unreasonable.

    Galento being a cheating rat is all funny haha now because it happened almost 100 years ago but he was a genuinely awful person in and out of the ring. The actions leading up to the Louis fight were pathetic.

    Also I may be wrong but Gouging might be as bad as PEDS because both things can deliver life altering damage but with PEDs they aren't like this cheat code, roided fighters have an undue advantage and its very slimey and in probably evil, but they dont make a fighter invincible. Eye gouging is a deliberate and flagrant attempt to make someone's life far worse, all to win at a ****ing sport.

    I hate it when people insult ATG GOATs like Galento. Reminds me of the absurd posters who picked Bowe over a monster like Primo!

    Actually, I think Galento could beat any fighter even the ATGs, all he has to do is sit on them and fart.
