    He was even calling Joe Louis a bum. Not a likeable fellow.

    It was like an execution in the 4th round the way Louis took him out.

    Louis said it had been one of his the toughest fights. He also said that he had planned to punish Galento and not knock him out so quickly. Then he was floored and changed his mind.

    It was not even just other fighters, William Shakespeare a author who had been dead over 300 years was on Galentos hit list
    The Press: “What do you think of William Shakespeare?”
    Galento: “Never hoid of him, what’s he one of those foreign heavyweights? I’ll moider da bum.”

    A pleasant guy he wasn't but i sure as hell would want him on my side if in a war or streetfight, retreat not in his 'limited' vocabulary.

    For the guys who are carrying a little extra poundage he could be a role model, Galento showing you not needing to be body beautiful to be successful in sport.

    How does any of this have to do with Tony Galento vs Chris Arreola? a 5'9 230 pound butterball with limited skills vs a 6'3 230 pound less of a butterball with vastly superior skills. As I said Chris by KO with in a few rounds.
