    We'd just see a compilation of Galento getting battered from pillar to post 20x in a row. Maybe he gets lucky in one attempt because Foreman shows up way too groggy after eating 10 cheeseburgers, a tray of fries, 2 liter mountain dew, an hour of sleep, taking the fight on a 24 hour notice, etc and can't react to anything getting hit flush for 10 rounds before collapsing.

    Four people for Galento?!?
    He wouldn’t get past the first round.

    I’m one of the four. I thought big Tony needed a wee bit of support. But as I can see…it was a wasted vote!

    Galento was at least as good as prime Tua

    You’re putting up a pretty good defence of Big T. I started off backing him just for laughs, but carry on…you might yet make a true believer out of me!

    I dunno Vic, you are The Gambler and a successful one at that I understand.

    Madonna even wrote a song about you: Gambler.

    I’m being strangely drawn to Team Galento…possibly due to Tony’s own gravitational attraction

    I mean, P4P….the guy was… really fat - surely they named the first A-bomb dropped after him. Aka - The G Bomb.

    Imagine if Foreman hit Tony hard enough to split his nucleus…I mean, look out!

    That would turn Two Ton Tony into a 100 Megaton Bomb…destroying everyone and everything near and far.

    That could be interpreted as a WIN for Galento.

    Haha! Come on Pug, I’m trying to be serious about Tony’s chances here! Then you go and spoil it all by making me laugh!

    Duck for cover Vic, Galento’s intestines are heading your way as we speak.

    Yuk! Way to put a man off his vanilla flavoured protein shake breakfast!!
    But anyway if Tony is blown to kingdom come, along with everyone else I’m guessing that makes it a Technical Draw or something like that. I really want a scenario where it’s George’s intestines that are heading towards me, not Tony’s, so Galento is declared the winner. Hmm…back to the drawing board i think.

    Could he not just Knock George out the old fashioned way, with his fists?

    Haha ok, ok I’m only pulling your leg!

    Anyway, never mind all these jokes. Regarding Tua…Galento had a devastating left hook that could take out most people on a given day. Nearly took out the great Louis too! But did he hit harder than Tua though? Hmm.

    And yes the man could take a pounding too, as he did many times. Though I’d give Tua the edge on chin and durability, having never been stopped even after facing some seriously hard hitters in his time.
