    If Dwight Muhammad Qawi can hammer Leon down in 6 rounds I suppose a taller much heavier and harder hitting One Man Riot could wear him down also. I think I have to make Tony the favorite considering the fact that Tony has more KO wins than Leon has fights. Tony was stopped 2 times on cuts once on a injury (broken hand) and the only guys to hammer Tony down were Max Bear and Joe Louis - I don't think Leon has that kind of firepower.

    Leon has a ton of heart and will be in Tony's face as long as it lasts, the trouble is that is exactly how Two Ton likes it :(

    Speaks well for Baer, by the way...he stood there and clubbed the daylights out of Tony...and never hit the deck. Maxie had a grade A chin IMO.

    with leons body shot punches galento would be winded by 5 and would start slowing down leon would then be scoring at will and eventually send the big bellied galento to the canvas:yep:think

    Qawi beat a very faded Spinks. In his prime, Leon had good hand speed and decent power. Galento, from the highlights against Joe Louis, looked like a fat, slow, defensless clubfighter. Leon by stoppage on cuts.

    Galento by brutal KO in 4.

    Galento was a murderous puncher and would likley flatten Spinks.

    If two ton is ever going to be the lineal heavyweight champion in a fantasy fight, this is how it could be brought about!
