    Tua gets his ass kicked same as Galento his unworldy chin however gives him a chance to last the distance while getting a beating .Tyson is a stylistic Nightmare for relativelly unskilled brawlers.

    very good point...Mike was mentally weak and whenever someone showed him they were not afraid his mind got to him...I seen it in the Greeen,Tillis, Tucker fights not to mention Holyfield,Lewis,Williams,McBride...once the cat was out of the bag about Mikes bully mentality, guys got courage from it...Galento beat some very good Black heavyweights(who were avoided) so he was not the BUM of the month and he had a lot of Balls and would not fear Tyson...He was more like Tua but would have gone out on his shield vs Lewis (unlike Tua who got hit and made the silent agreement) like he did Louis( Galento had heart) I think Tyson gets to him but Galento is still dangerous because of his power and heart and I see these factors being overlooked

    This is how see it.

    We all know who is going to win but make no mistake Gallento could be a handfull.

    His record is littered with the corpses of people who underestimated him due to his portly physique.

    The press conference for this fight would be worth the pay per view.
