A lot of it would have to do with what Galento is allowed to get away with. Arreola would have a noticeable size advantage. Both men were limited in their skills and mobility if we’re honest. Galento beat more ranked guys in his day. But I don’t know if I can see Nathan Mann or Jorge Brescia being ranked today. And while beating Lou Nova looks good on paper, thumbing him in the eye wouldn’t go over too well in most eras. I think it’s really a toss up.
Galentos view of roadwork: "Why should I pay the bums all that good folding money and then go out and do all the work myself"? Galentos boxing philosophy: " This content is protected I'm not sure the 21st century fight game is ready for Galentos form of 'boxing,' fleet of foot and defensive it was not, offensive and no holds barred it was.
This would be a fight to watch! I'm sure there would be some funny moments. Lol. With a measure of doubt, I'll go with Chris Arreola in this match up, but literally anything could happen, and probably would. It might even depend on how much the referee allowed. (IMHO, of course.)
If it had taken place back in Tony's day, then perhaps the ref s a little more happy to turn a blind eye! Agreed dj, a fight that I'd love to see.
Yes. Two Ton Tony Galento vs. Lou Nova, in 1939, may have set the standard for referees with sight impairments.
