Two-Ton Tony Galento versus Eric Butterbean Esch

Galento at 240lbs and Esch at 335lbs...two white blobs of power and toughness.

Galento trained hard on beer, cigars and hamburgers. Esch just is a fat sum b*tch who can take alot and give alot.

Galento beat guys like Lou Nova, lost to Max Baer and Buddy Baer and lost to Joe Louis in a World Heavyweight title bout that lasted four rounds, of which Galento knocked Louis down for a nine count.

Butterbean has knocked out a drugged out McNeely and lost on points to a 52 year old Larry Holmes.

My personal opinion: Galento is the king of the round bodies...win by KO in the 5th round.

*It may be also a fact to know that Joe Louis said Galento was one of the toughest, if not the toughest and most hardest hitting man, he ever fought.

For the last time. Stop being a moron. Butterbean is not a real fighter. He has fought one 10 rounder and lost that to a man only 9 years away from drawing Social Security. To compare him to any main event fighter past or present is true idiocy. Now Knock it off!!!

Galento was short and fat, but he fought REAL fighters and had a real left hook.

Butterbean is a tub of lard that belongs in wrestling. He should be arrested for impersonating a fighter.

One was a top ten contender who beat other top ten contenders and was world class in his day. The other was a fringe contender (and I am being extremely generous there) and fought my barber, my mail man, and my grand ma.

You know which is Butterbean. Stop comparing him to real legit contenders like there is actually a comparison. He would be KO'ed every time.
