    Yeah galento wins but I am still surprised that no one has picked the modern fat guy after all he got fat on a more modern diet and didn't train much in a more modern way oh and he is bigger surely a shoe in to win

    He knocked Louis Monaco harder out than Vitali Klitschko could.
    Also 3 times faster.

    Galento was a killer puncher and a real fighter. He could take your head off with his hook. He beat many top notchers especially earlier in his career. He destroys the Bean within 5 rounds.

    Butterbean might land a good punch in the first round, but if that not happen then Butterbean is going down, Galento knew only one way of fighting, that was on the front foot, wrecking by any method he could use, fair or foul.

    Galento would "moider da bum"

    But Vitali himself isn't a big puncher. And knocking a guy out at that level usually depends upon the amount of prep time the opponent had.

    Butterbean is not a bug puncher. He's a big joke.

    His overhand right when it hit flush wasn't a joke.

    Galento his defence is bad enough to just walk right in it, Bean has a puncherschance the first round.
    A small chance though.

    Galento could walk through bean. No danger of him being stopped.

    300 pounds of weight behind a shot from a guy who actually has pretty quick hands, and he just walks through it?

    Pacman got KTFO with an overhand he walked right into
    Martinez KTFO Williams with an overhand left.

    An overhand is the most dangerous shot to just walk right through.

    Butterbean is utter shite. I'm not even sure if you're joking or not.

    Look at guys Galento fought in his career. Look at the guys Butterbean fought.

    Bean does not have a punchers chance here, he's wank.

    Agreed.

    Galento walked through bombs by Max and Buddy Baer, Lou Nova, Lorenzo Pack, Leroy Hayne and other punchers of the era. The only person who floored Galento in his entire 100+ pro career was none other than the brown bomber and he took a trip to the canvas for his trouble.
