    The Braddock who hung tough with Joe Louis, even put Louis down, could beat Galento. Otherwise, Galento grinds Braddock down in a typical Galento foul-filled bout.

    Braddock would nullify him with his distance control, reflexes, spoiler momentum/pacing, and his jab.

    Cinderella has two Tons of fun with Galento, and has his hand raised after 15 rounds.

    Both at their best, I think that a Braddock decision is the most likely outcome.

    Throw them together otherwise, and you are more likely to draw a good version of Galento.

    Galento would always be dangerous, and would have his moments, but Braddock's toughness, gameness, and all-around skills carry the day. Braddock UD.
