Best quote from him was when somebody asked him why he ran at night and he said, I fight at night.

They might as well go all the way and have them attacking each other physically before their matches with chairs or putting them through tables. "My goodness, I think he damn near broke him in half."

the Beans big problem is that Galento, while he likes to present a certain image, is deceptive. He did lots of roadwork, had good endurance, and was very technically proficient as a brawler, believe it or not. Most of the beans success revolves around keeping some guy at a distance. The bean's head is back, he has is girth that has to be encountered, meanwhile he is using his reach. Look at his fights if you don't believe me. heres why: Even though Bean does not have the wingspan of a guy like Wilder, His head is past his girth so to hit him someone has to get around him enough. This actually gives him the advantage he needs to keep a guy outside....Unfortunately aint happening with Toney.
Galento will not even think twice and will absolutely never give bean any room. he will come in, head down, stick his head on bean's girth and fire away at will. he will pressure the bean from this position, hooking, uppercutting, stepping on his feet, hitting him in the gut, all the while with his head close enough that the bean cannot get to him.
After around the third round the bean will be a bloody, protesting mess...His face will throb from Galento's head hitting in (like Evander did at times), his body will hurt from the punches he has absorbed and he will be exhausted from trying to keep Galento back. At this point Galento will low blow him, get him focused down stairs in some manner and hook him to sleep with a series of short punches. I would be suprised if the Bean lasted 5 rounds. In a 3 rounder the Bean escapes a KO but swears never to go near New jersey again.
Oh and here is the reason; Galanto was an excellent inside fighter. before Marciano reinvented the the Hank Armstrong shuffle, Galento was a guy that was good enough at the brawl that he could get himself inside on guys who did not want him there. Two Ton was one of the best inside fighting heavies really. Its just that to his way of thinking, why waste time with footwork and angles? So he would throw himself in and stick there, would you want to try to keep him off of you? He stunk (yes he used Tuna Oil) would throw from any angle inside, and would just put his weight upon you. No way Bean can deal with someone as good from that range as Galento. I doubt Bean hits him once...Galento came in with his head down.
