Most Successful Non-training Boxers

[X]

Without a doubt, the most entertaining non-training boxer was 'Two Ton' Tony Galento in the 30's.

HAHAHAH i member his fight with Rocky Marciano, i saw it on ESPN classics, boi he was one fooking fat mofo! Toney would struggle to keep up with him!

He used to train on cigars and beer. His catchphrase was 'I'll moider da bum' and he was lined up to face a prime Joe Louis (I don't think he fought Marciano as he was around before Rocky came up). There would be press shots of him 'training' .......... and his sparring partners would be pulling him on a rickshaw as he smoked big fat cigars. he said "I'm paying these bums wages, you think I'm gonna be doing all the work?"

One press wag asked him what he thought of Shakespeare and he said "I bet he's one of those fancy English fighters I've never heard of. I'll moider da bum"

he actually caught the Bomber cold and dropped him but was then absolutely pulverised by Joe. Louis hit him so hard and so fast that he didn't have time to fall down. Author Peter Wilson (who was ringside) swore that Louis actually cut him so badly that he lost his eyebrow and it went flying off into the crowd.
