John L Sullivan Vs Tony Galento (20rds MoQ)

Hard to say. Nobody alive ever saw Sullivan fight and there are no films of his bouts.

 

Not many alive who saw Galento in the flesh.I'd go for John L I think.

 

Going off what I've read, John L. was fearsome. He was lighter than Tony but apparently was pretty explosive and quick, with two-fisted power.
For me the length pf the contest is immaterial, as in my opinion Sullivan gets Galento out of there, maybe in a hurry.

 

Based on record and contemporary accounts, I take a prime Sullivan to beat the best version of Galento… and beat him rather badly. Sullivan was an active, two-fisted fighter who was lightning quick. Galento was a beer barrel with a hook who spent every second of his fights trying to line-up the same punch.

 

At least there are films of Galento fighting so we know what he brings to the table.

I'm not disputing that, I was just musing out loud really.

 

Never saw him in action but I had a few beers with him after he retired.

 

yeah sure, if you are really 65 maybe you took a beer with him when you were 2 and he was an ancient

 

Sullivan would have crushed him.

 

hard to say Tony G was a rough guy with gloves and beat a lot of the murder row black fighter like Lorenzo Pack and others John L. was the master of the bare knuckle...I take John L. without the leather and Tony with the gloves on

 

I've been reading quite a bit on Sullivan lately and by all accounts he was, in the early 1880's, his prime, a very fast, very strong, superbly conditioned , murderous puncher. In gloves or bare fists this is a phone booth fight and Sullvan would have hurt him.
