    Galento was a tough guy but he fought the kind of style that I think would play right into Foreman’s hands. I’m guessing this ends inside of 3 rounds

    You could also say Foreman fought the kind of way that would fall in Galenteno’s hands. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Lyle - Foreman 2, Tony certainly has the potential to drop and hurt Foreman if he did it to Louis. Heh, you could say Tony was a significantly more experienced fighter than “Young” Foreman.

    Frazier fight 2.0. Tony's got the heart to get back up from the canvas but he's just gonna go back down lmao

    Yeah Two Ton had plenty of power. I’ll grant you that. But in order to have a Lyle-esque evening with George he’d have to be facing the exact same George who was coming off a 15 month layoff and a confidence shattering loss. Galento seemed closer in style and stature to a Joe Frazier type…. Shorter left hooker type who bobbed and weaved

    If he makes it to the third round I'd be surprised ... couldn't have a worse stylish matchup to go against Foreman ...

    Foreman in 2. Foreman makes Galento bounce around all four corners of the ring worse than Frazier.

    1 or 2 rounds at most as Foreman pulps Galento’s face and KOs him.
