    Ok. How's this one play out.
    Leon from his win over Ali..
    Galento from his win over Nova??

    15 rounds between two of the most colourful characters in boxing history.

    Is Galento even good enough to defeat this version of eon Leon?
    Or does Spinks high speed attack mode, put him in danger against one of Tony's hooks?. Could he walk one to one and find his head scrambled?

    This would be one ugly fight, I don't think Leon has the power to really hurt Tony so it's going to go a few rounds and if two ton really nails Leon he's going to go . Galento by 8th round TKO

    It would be one hell of a street fight because that's how both fought ..

    Bump because it’d be a fun fight.
    I’d slightly favour the quality of Leon, faster hands, better technique and better defence, he’d probably stop him after some rocky moments himself.
    A fight like this could really go either way though.

    I'd take Two Ton. He was a slickster really and he was like a short Ron Stander who knew ho to fight.
    Too big, too slick for Leon

    I think this fight is like Tua vs Ruiz with Galento being Tua

    Hi Buddy.
    If haven't already, then welcome to the forum, looks like you have hit the ground running, well done, new member's bring new perspectives and new slants on boxing ,on fighters, on match ups, etc, which is refreshing and inventive, that said in the limited amount of film on Galento, I for one, wouldn't have thought of him as a " slickster " moreover he looked ( to me ) more of a walk forward brawler, gloves very low, devoid of a defense, and very easy to hit, in fact anything but a slickster, but as I always say, that's your opinion and I will respect it, look forward to many more posts from your good self.
    stay safe Ed, chat soon.
