    I can't call this one. Similar style, skills and even builds. Battle of the left hooks. Who comes out on top?

    I picked Tua but I have no doubt Galento will be dismissed way too quickly as this thread wears on. Recency bias, as Tua was simply not that good & gets pretty heavily over-rated on here.

    That said, Galento never produced anything like Tua’s effort against Ibeabuchi, & while he has the power to hurt Tua with a consistent body attack, he never showed the level of activity that would be required to put him away.

    I’ll say Tua but he won’t impress anyone doing it.

    Don't laugh. This would be more competitive than you think

    Galento is actually much better than people giving credit for. He possess a granite chin and probably could take a surprising amount of punishment from Tua.

    Tuatanium!

    Probably bias for the guy I grew up with, nothing wrong with Tony really.

    Really great fantasy fight.

    Tua round 1. I just don't see the scenario where Galento doesn't get "murderlized" early

    Galento had the same style and attributes as Tua. And both relied on the left hook.

    I see... Was Tua just as smelly this whole time? That changes the whole game!

    You're just trying to mock Galento. Galento was a top contender with many good wins
