    Make of that what you will. Seems very suspect to me.

    Tyson had a great chin, Louis s chin wasn't great.

    Could also be that Galento hit harder than Ruddock

    Let's turn it around.
    So you think that Tony could have dropped Tyson maybe..?

    That settles it, Galento drops Ruddock, Tyson and Louis on the same night. Easy peasy

    I'm thinking that's what Jake is thinking.

    I wouldn't read a lot into it one way or the other.

    You could just as easily hand pick a fight where Tyson got dropped, and compare it to a fight where Louis didn't get dropped.
