    You can see that Louis had his sparring partners try to emulate Jersey Joe for the rematch, though none of them could duplicate his footwork:

    Jersey Joe's footwork is better than Gods.

    I remember Galento was associated with a popular song of that time
    Now children all together sing...
    Roll out the barrel, We'll have a barrel of fun-
    Roll out the barrel,
    We'll have the blues on the run----
    Galento was rotund, but he could hit, and take it too!
