[GIF] Joe Louis check hook against Galento

Galento had hard head, didn't he?

 

Awesome.

 

Awesome textbook shot.

Galento was a tough man but that hurt him.

 

Beautiful shot!! Aĺthough I dont believe in the phrase check hook. To me a hook is a hook. He cought him with a lead hook coming in IMO

 

It was a counter hook. It is timed so well and is thrown so damn fast one has to look hard to decipher. He actually parries Galento's own hook and puts his own on Galento's chin faster than any mortal heavyweight should be able to.

 

That was scary fast. I wonder if that was the punch that tore Tony’s lip?

 

This is the kind of counter hook Inoue excels in! If you look at some of his fights, you'll see him use this "get-there-first" hook against several of his opponents - often with devastating effect.

 

Fast hands and the perfect target*!


*a slow, unskilled, short-armed, wide-punching, punch-telegraphing, no-combination-throwing, no-guard-having, face-first brawler

 

Cool.

Post some streamables of Joshua doing some similar impressive sh1t against a 5 inch shorter, 8 inch inferior reach, fat, squat opponent ie another"perfect target".

It'd be even better if it was a fight he eventually won.

 

Ah, he's back.

 

What in the world does Joshua have to do with anything?

And anyone who can't see why Galento is a far more "perfect" target than Ruiz is probably beyond hope.

 

Galento sucked back in his day and now. But he did have a chin and a punch. It gets you a long way in the heavyweight division then as well as now (see David Tua).

But I've been told that AJ is some super modern, elite fighting beast that many of the decrepit greats of yesteryear would crumble before, purely because of his physical attributes.

Then an allegedly 6ft 2 (in his dreams) obese, non athlete comes along and destroys a beautiful, big and powerful uber athlete, when supposedly guys of his size are obsolete in this bigger is better world. How can a guy giving up that much height and reach succeed? It must be purely those 40 lbs of excess lard that made the diffrerence lol.

Still waiting for the AJ streamable too.

 

If you're waiting for a 2-second streamable where a heavyweight champion lands a single punch on a smaller, slower, less skilled opponent, you might want to ask somebody else. That's really not my thing.

 

Galento's punch is insanely overrated in this forum. When it comes to punching power (or overall abilities), Galento and Tua don't belong in the same paragraph.

Doubt anyone claimed that it was just because of Joshua's physical attributes but yeah, some greats of yesteryear might very well crumble before Joshua.

But you seem to be fighting with strawmen (or trolls). No serious posters thought that Joshua was infallible or invincible, or that a skilled 270lb (or even 220lb) fighter would never be able to beat him.
