lol at the legend joe louis getting knocked down by this guy....

[$partacus]

I would imagine. I take it he was big on eating everything that looked like food as well.

"Galento's fight with Max Baer ended when the referee stopped the bout in the eighth round. On the day of the Baer fight, Galento decided to first stop off at his bar. There he had a big bowl of spaghetti, with meat balls, washed down with half a case of beer. After his meal, Galento became embroiled in an argument with his brother. The dispute ended when his brother threw his beer glass in Galento's face, severely cutting his lip. Galento was forced to get the cut stitched up, hours before the fight. Baer re-opened the cut in the first round, forcing Galento to swallow blood for the remainder of the fight. After the fight, Galento blamed his inability to "hook him around the head and butt him" for the loss."

dude looks like a decent hitter... anyone can get a flash knockdown.. but all the fighters before our era were way tougher and all seemed to have granite chins and hard hooks...

that's no embarrassment being knocked down by that guy.

His job previous to fighting was to actually deliver two or three tons of ice a day to customers with his truck, which is where he got his nickname "Two Ton" Tony. Quite a grueling job, since he had to carry all of that by himself, but it made him strong and durable in the ring.

very nice not enough historians on this board

Tony Galento = Chris Arreola.

Ugly and fat, but not a bad boxer and a strong puncher.

But all "political correctness" aside, he wasn't physically fit and so couldn't have been a very formidable opponent for Louis.

I know some people want to make him out to be a great fighter so to make Louis resume seem better. Sadly, the same people will discredit Vitali's upcoming win over Arreola.

OP's a ****ing ******.
