    Two rounds give or take if this goes as we expect, but six rounds give or take if Galento throws him a bit of a curve ball.

    About as long as it takes Foreman to cross the ring and land something substantial......

    Galento was tough as nails and could punch. I think he could do better (and last longer) than many believe but of course would get TKOed at some point.

    I think Galento would come out there and get George's attention because the man could punch and he was fearless, and George would dispatch him very quickly after that.

    Depends Galento is allow to fight under "His" rules lol. If Tony can get away with it being a foul match, he might shock the world.

    He would be shocked when Foreman elbows, shoves, and stomps on him if he decides to make it a street brawl. Galento would be motionless staining the canvas with his drool for 10 minutes.

    Or maybe Foreman plays into Galento's hands, eh?

    Wouldn’t be surprised if George didn’t walk out and walk Tony right into that left uppercut that destroyed Cooney right off the bat with the first punch.

    Good night, sweet (beer-guzzling) prince.

    Galento by brutal 1st round KO.

    I’m giving Tony that mystical 1 in 20 punchers chance we all chat about, so if there’s another 19 threads on Galento v Foreman, I’ll back George 19 times.
    But today it’s Galento’s day haha!

    Frazier couldn't pull off the mythical punchers chance in 2 attempts but the far inferior beer guzzling Galento would find success with his hook?

    In 20 chances…yep, just maybe. Especially sfter he’s refuelled with a ton of pasta and meatballs. I believe that to him is like spinach was to Popeye..!
