    Here Galento says that he can "lick tall fighters easily" because they offer big targets. Lennox Lewis was a tall fighter.

    Discuss.

    It's Lewis vs Morisson or Both except its more brutal and it doesn't go 2 complete rounds.

    I don't think Galento could get to LL.

    Galento wouldn't be able to get past the jab... Get absolutely pounded for a couple of rounds before the corner/ref stop it or he gets laid out.

    I think it would resemble Lewis vs Botha. Lennox crushes him like a grape.

    Are you sure you don't need more time to think about your answer?

    Nah, Galento was just a short fat guy who could fight. Lennox has all the physical advantages and technical ones as well. Lennox kills him.

    By lick I assume he meant fellate in some manner. That's the only way that statement makes sense.

    I don't imagine the Galento vs Lewis fight bringing in much PPV revenue since it would lack essential drama due to the result being a foregone conclusion.

    Of course Galento claimed that he found tall fighters easier to beat. What Galento might have been overlooking in favor of his interpretation is that tall fighters aren't all of equal skill and that his easy victories could have very likely been totally unrelated to their tallness and much more related to their lack of boxing ability.

    He'll get pulverized inside 5, but will probably do more damage than Tua did. Just my prediction.

    Lennox sends Tony out of the ring and rolling down the alley in the first round.
