    If it was prime Tyson, I would bet my life vs. 10 million dollars or more. I will say Galento would have put on a better show than many believe, and it would have been fun while it lasted. Galento would have had chances against the post Holyfield Tyson and would have destroyed the final few versions of him.

    No way. Galento could fight dirty and make Tyson angry enough to bite him and get DQ.

    Is this question meant to elicit ridiculous responses?
    Even the Tokyo Tyson who was KO'ed by Douglas would still make short work of Galento.

    If you were crazy enough to bet your life and there was any point during the fight that reflected a slither of a chance that Galento MIGHT win (like when the Fat Man dumped Joe Louis) it just might induce an instant heart attack and kill you anyway.

    OR, imagine if you bet your life on Tyson beating Douglas. Would the long count on Douglas suddenly become an issue for you if it wasn’t an issue for you in the first place?

    The Smiling Devil says Too Bad, So Sad, we abide by the ref’s count.
