    You'll get people saying that Galento was a fat bum, but he was powerful and tough as nails. Also, the same people who will decry Louis's feat are the ones who bang on about size in all other debates on heavyweights. Still the greatest heavy after all these years, in my opinion.

    Galento was the type of fighter to shrug off any boxing skill you may have, and would battle you with pure power and toughness.

    Actually if you want to see punches thrown with ultimate bad intentions watch the last two punches of the fight. That uppercut left hook combo was as devastating as they come. No other hwt champion could throw those punches as perfectly and as deadly as Louis. Nearly took Galentos head off.
