Two Ton Tony Galento wasn't a real boxer. He wasn't a professional boxer. His job was carrying ice blocks for a living. He fought only to support his family.gilgamesh wrote: ↑22 May 2025, 00:43How was Tony Galento not a Professional Fighter when he had 110 Professional fights?elmersalsa wrote: ↑22 May 2025, 00:39Say what?gilgamesh wrote: ↑21 May 2025, 21:43 Joe Louis and Joe Frazier were knocked down the same amount of times even though Joe Louis had 32 more fights.
So Louis wasn't as tough or as strong as Frazier even though they're roughly the same size, and Louis was knocked down much less frequently.
Rock solid logic on this one elmer.
Also Joe Louis was knocked down, and then went on to win by knockout quite a few times. Joe Frazier never managed to win by knockout in a fight he was knocked down in.
Smokin' Joe Frazier was only dropped to the canvas by two men: Oscar Bonavena and George Foreman. Who else dropped Smokin' Joe? Not Two Ton Tony Galento.
Louis was dropped by Two Ton Tony Galento. A guy that was not even a professional boxer for crying out loud. He was short fat guy who carried ice blocks for a living. I can't picture Frazier being dropped by a fighter like that. Do you?
Louis was rocked by 168lbs Billy Conn. Conn almost knocked him out!
Louis was knocked out by Max Schmeling. Schmeling could hit Smokin' Joe's face all he wants. He is not knocking out Frazier.
Louis was thrown out of the ring by Buddy Baer.
Louis was dropped by Jersey Joe Walcott twice.
Rocky Marciano almost put him out of the ring.
Light-hitting Jimmy Braddock of all people, dropped Joe Louis?![]()

All of those guys you mention knocked down Joe Louis, Joe Louis knocked all of those guys out except for Marciano.
Deontay Wilder is a professional boxer.
Joe Frazier was a professional boxer.
