Two Ton Tony Galento was the 4th cousin of my uncle Roy (WWII veteran, landed on the beaches of Anzio, Italy).
Know how @ross @maxpower @bean flicker @p4pking
He got his nickname?
@Dia bando Tony Galento would work 9 am to 5 pm delivering 660 pound blocks of ice to pubs, bars, restaurants in Orange, New Jersey.
This cocksucker could knock out a truck.

These hard men would PUNCH LIKE A MULE. modern fighters would crumple under their sheer brute force and force of will and character.

What those men withstood---- punches like LaMotta or Marciano or Walcott or Ezzard took, WOULD DESTROY MODERN FIGHTERS IN 3 ROUNDS.

Marciano would obliterate the weak bellies of the modern heavies with their spare tires and burritos and fast food.
