    He doesn't last a round against Tyson. Iron Mike likes to come out of his corner in full attack mode and Tony has no way of getting away or even holding on. He may last a little longer against young George simply because Foreman was a bit more of a plodder. Galento would probably be done by the end of the third.

    I can see a Galento v Tyson fight being something along the line of Tyson's fights against Stewart or Pete McNeely.
    Very fast and one rounders.
    Yep, maybe a couple of round against prime George.
    Id say the same for Joe Frazier, he gets Tony out in around 2-4 rounds.
    Jack Dempsey has a great shot at scoring a 1 round KO, if he comes out as he did against Willard.

    There's no reason to believe Galento would last longer than Frazier or Norton.

    Which just shows, whenever built like Hercules or like a blob, young George would get you out of there.




    Unless you knew the rope a dope of course..

    If Tua can last, so does Galento

    Yeah right. Galento might go the distance
