Buddy beat Galento in1941.Galento had not been ranked since 1939! You keep repeating this silly mantra about "beating rated fighters "as if who was rated in that era doesn't matter! Galento was ranked in a 3 year period ,[37-39,] when ranked with him were ordinary journeymen like the following; Natie Mann Alberto Lovell Jimmy Adamick Andre Lenglet Gunnar Barlund Gus Dorazio Red Burman Johnny Paychek And light heavyweights Len Harvey ? Maxie Rosenbloom It was a **** era, don't you get that? Tua was ranked for 8 years in one of the strongest deepest divisions the heavyweights have ever known! Lewis Witherspoon Tyson Holyfield Ibeabuchi Byrd Golota V klitschko Briggs Moorer Morrison Rahman Bowe Foreman To use your over the top simile being ranked isn't worth two buckets of spit! Its whose ranked with you! That indicates how strong your era is and how meritorious it is to be ranked with them!
Justify? We know it was a much better era!Just look who was ranked in37,38.39,the 3 years Galento was ranked!
Galento doesn't make the 100 top punchers list, because he was too slow ,crude, and uncoordinated to achieve the results his power indicated he should have.Cooney is number 53!
I'm sorry but despite Cooney never beating a so called ranked fighter in his era, I don't see him losing to galento on his best day. From what I've seen of both men, I believe Cooney rips in to him fast and furious. Tony may not go like Norton in the first but I don't see him getting past the fifth. Either stopped on his feet half unconscious or his face cut to pieces. I think it's a matter of of styles and size here. I don't see Tony last out 13 rounds with Holmes either.
Never mind cutting his face to pieces,a fat squat guy like Galento there's no way Cooney can resist going to the fat body with a body attack like the one he finished Lyle with. This content is protected
Janitor's great premise is that there is complete relativism between eras. Number 3 ranked in 1915 is just as good as number 3 in 1995. Nothing has changed. Unlike every other physical endeavor in the human experience, there is no progression in boxing. There aren't even ebbs and flows.
Nope. HE KO'd Jackie Gleason in an alley way once. Jackie was quick on his feet. This content is protected
I got Galento. Rough tough brawler with oh my god power who lifted Louis off his feet with a left hook, and then knocked him down.
because he never had the guts to get in there with a contender. I really question the knowledge of those that continually defend this fairytail fighter who wasn't. As much as you want a fearless hero, Cooney wasn't. He was a cherry picking ring coward. NOTHING more. Ever.
That is meaningless. During the 1930's Galento was a highly feared puncher, not a great fighter, but a feared heavy hitter. Whether he is rated top 100 in 2017 is a mute point. The guy could bang with his left hook.
