    Styles make fights and I think Gibbons could jab and move his way to a decision.

    On the other hand, Galento might have had a much better chance against a Harry Wills or Joe Louis type because of his punch.

    This is one where I am honestly going with the stinky little fat guy.

    Gibbons would box his ears off ... Galento's shot won;d be based on if the ref allows him to maul Tommy, that;'s it ...

    Gibbons struggled immensely with Dempsey’s fouls and tactics, odds are Galento wins a decision if he’s allowed to foul as much as he pleases.
