    Galento wonders where they possibly digged Joe Frazier up? Galento knew he would slaughter Joe Frazier who he viewed as a crude, wannabe Galento.

    Thread starter nominated the 70's tho if his words/memory can be trusted. Patterson fought a couple of years into that decade.

    Kind of ironic considering the 70's is considered the Gold Age of Heavyweights. If he says the 70's fighters are bums, imagine what would he say about fighters now... But seriously Tony Galento would get demolished by the 70's heavyweights.

    He called everyone a bum :) , although he wasn't far off in his assessment of Patterson.

    It's funny when people would rather take the time to keep parroting the same gibberish rather than follow the track record. It reflects maturity and intellect or the lack of ...
