Better All-Around Fighter: Tony Galento or David Tua?

of all the threads you could have revived you picked this one lol

 

Seemed like it still had a lot of untapped potential.

 

Sequel never beats the original.

 

Well apparently Lou Nova's hook could bend heavybags in half...and that was Nova as an old man according to Perry.

Could you imagine if Nova switched places with Frazier and landed that hook on Ali...?

"He's not getting up Jim...!"

"It happened...! It happened....!!!"

"Nova is, without a doubt, the greatest heavyweight champion of all time!".

Top 10 HW punchers list needs to be updated:

1: prime Nova
2: old Nova
3-10: everyone else

 

Galento got closer to the lineal belt than Tua did. He did so by facing a sliiightly better champion.

That makes Tony Galento the all around better fighter.

Three cheers for Two Ton Tony Galentooo wooo!!!

 

You've clearly never seen Olivares vs Kanazawa II!

 

You know I rarely watch Bantamweight.

 

Tua superior in every department

 

Galento = overachiever

Tua = underachiever

Galento's achievements are slightly better.

 

How do we judge “Better All-Around Fighter?”

Is it by how closely their entrance music resembles my childhood memories playing Mike Tyson’s punch out?

Is it the girth of their thighs?

Is it the average duration of using a high guard per round ratio? Aka the AHGPRR.

Or is it how close they were to beating a Top 10 Elite HW to become the lineal HW champion of the whole world?

 

None of the above.

 

Not even the AHGPRR?

 

114 fights and was only dropped twice by Joe Louis, and was never dropped. In an era of 15 round non stop HW pounding.

 

This is one of the most tragic threads I've ever seen.

 

Tua, easy
