    No doubt who spent more time on the bar stool and who spent every waking hour on the weights but who wins in the ring?

    Galento would ko him late. Wears Bruno down. Bruno was too chinny.

    Tony doesn't make it until late. Bruno destroys his face and the ref steps in and stops matters in 7.

    Either Bruno would force a stoppage based on cuts, or Galento would maul him and stop him late like he did with Nova.

    So on this match Bruno could defeat the 5'9er but on the other one Bruno who was 6'3 230/240 pounds of QUALITY mass doesnt stand a chance against Louis who was floored by Galento twice? :uptosomething:

    you even have ppl claiming Brunos chin was weak which shows they dont actually watch boxing ,they cheerlead :cheer:....Bruno was stopped ONCE without tiring by MIKE TYSON.No make that twice. Galento total opponets would also result in just about FIFTY % of them having lost at least the fight prior to fighting Galento,some have several.

    Brunos weakness was stamina,so if louis would win he would have to hope the guy tires out. This is one rarity thsat Louis could defeat such a fighter bc Bruno did not push the pace much.Its still not out of this world that Bruno knocks Louis into next year though.

    If Galento pressed Bruno it would result into him running into a brickwall and he gets pulverised quickly. Despite Brunos stamina im pretty sure he was more athletic than a drunkard who wasnt even 5'10 and about 30 pounds of extra unwanted blubbery had he actually been fighting today at that 235 mark.....who do you guys really think is going to win here? :confused:

    Logical fallacy. False equivalency. Fighters in Bruno's time were carefully guided to preserve the "0" much more often than in Galento's time.

    Sorry but you have to be a special kind of stupid to think Galento is even ranked top 50 in any era after the 70's let alone even QUALITY fighter in his OWN era. Really Butter Bean who stood about 6'0 and 300 pounds in the mid/late 90's would maul this guy and bounce him out inside 3 rnds. Galento would be toughman material and the common bar stool brawler in other eras.

    Lets forget all the LOGICAL points above...you outright picked Galento to win here...so! :babeando:

    He should have been in his own era on paper, but he wasn't.

    Galento was a fighter who consistently overachieved.

    Bruno was a fighter who consistently underachieved.

    If you had lived in the UK during Bruno's career, you would have seen cardboard kits, where you got to reassemble Bruno in time for his next great defeat.

    Fans would be throwing tomatoes at Galento had he fought Bruno bc thats what he would be....welcome to reality,i know your new here in this place called REALITY. lol

    If Bruno ever had fought THAT guy...it would probably be his first five fights bc after that they would be looking at ACTUAL quality guys to give Bruno rnds! If Bruno was waiting on his next loss rest assured it wouldnt be a 5'9 drunk who had as bad technical skills as ive ever seen.

    Let me introduce you to reality.

    Bruno was actually pulled up by the commissions, and ridiculed int he press, for fighting over matched opposition.

    There was even a case where one of his opponents pretty much tripped over his own feet, that was held up as an example of this.

    Reporters actually said "he has been in with the best, and some of the worst"!

    Aggressive, durable power hitter with good stamina against a "chinny" cautious power hitter with bad stamina. The out come really isnt that hard to figure out. Bruno is tailor made for pressue fighters.

    Yeah the same Butterbean that never won a fight that went past the 4th rd! The fact that you even brought up that circus side show pretty much cements your place on this forum as the local idiot. As if it wasn't like that already...

    Forget all logical points? You don't even know what logic is you high school dropout invalid lmao
