Buster Mathis

Lennox Lewis

Tommy Morrison

Wlad Klitschko

Ernie Terrell

Joe Bugner

Ernie Shavers

Larry Holmes

I'm assuming you mean Mathis, Sr. Interesting fight, but I think Galento gets him out of there eventually.

Lewis stops Galento late, well ahead on the cards.

They go to war, & while Morrison is the better overall fighter, he hasn't the chin to survive the trench fight. Galento soaks it up & knocks him out.

For Klitschko, see Lewis.

Terrell & Bugner win close, somewhat unconvincing decisions with safety-first, low-output gameplans.

Shavers is another big hitter without the durability to take what he can dish out, &, like Morrison, he's hittable & willing to be so. Another in Galento's favour.

Holmes either laughs his way to a decision, or Galento quits late, frustrated & bested.

He knocks out Morrison.

Drops Shavers but ends up getting knocked out himself in a great war vs Ernie.

One clean shot to Wlad's chin would be light's out but Wlad jabs and clinches until Tony gets so frustrated he Golotas himself out via DQ by low blows.

He would get beat vs all the others, leaving his record vs this troop at 1-7

Ouch...what's going on here? This can't be happening. You guys puttin' me on? Where is BRR to bring balance to this discussion. (Words that have never before been used in the same sentence before in the history of mankind).

OK I"m checking myself into a a neuropsyche ward for a full check up.....cuz I'm with yancey on that other thread, and some of the most sensible folks around seem to taken a romp through the looking glass. I suppose any reasonable person would have to doubt their own sanity when they themselves (me in this case) become the common denominator. I'll let you know if I check out OK when I get back.

BB checks into the psyche ward and discovers that Granberry is his doctor.

What happens?

go to the hypo match up thread for galento's up coming bout with david haye!

It's too late. Haye's already been knocked out over there.

lemme see...

wow..i didnt see the punch but haye is still out of it in the land of nod. galento is pacing around cursing "..da bum din even hoit me" and "...gemme a shot at one a dem commy pussies for a million bucks!"

....haye is awake and on his feet.

Galento was a tough bastard and more conditioned than people think, and his left hook was pretty lethal...but he was so wide open, that I think the majority of this group would have stopped him inside five rounds...but guys like Morrison, Shavers, and dare I say Mathis, would have been Galento's best shot.

Tweedle dumb once again shows his lack of boxing knowledge. He can't tell the difference between a guy who gets stopped from exhaustion versus someone with a weak chin. He's probably never even seen a Shavers fight and just looks at the boxrec results.

Tweedle dumb probably also thinks Foreman has a weak chin because he was stopped by the weak punching Ali and dropped by the feather fisted Young.

That sounds about right, with the Galento/Shavers match similar to the past his prime Shavers vs. Sims fight.

- Football player by name of Ron Stander stopped a prime aged Earnie in 5, and at a peak age he couldn't make the end of 1 against Quarry, and none of these guys known as great finishers or KO artists.

Some oldtimers have claimed Galento's left hook the hardest punch ever. It's easily on par with Shaver's right and Galento the more powerful and awkward fighter with a much better chin. Louis was his 105th fight that finished with Nova, Max & Buddy Baer back to back to back to back. That and WW2 pretty much finished Galento sorta like I'm finishing you off.

Maybe Earnie can slice Galento up which is the cause of his few stoppages before Louis. I never completely discount a fighter's chances, but if you value your spending money, in a battle of sluggers you don't put on the weak chin.

But, hey, maybe that's your schtick.....cool.................. 8)

Wonder how Tony would have done his second time around with Al Gainer. Too bad it never happened. But Tony was highly resistant to a KO no doubt.

Tweedle Dum still hasn’t learned and doesn’t understand the difference between a guy getting stopped from exhaustion versus someone with a weak chin.

Tweedle Dum hasn’t even seen this rather famous fight or he would know that Quarry had to hit Shavers with about 30 or so power shots in order to drop him, and doesn’t understand the difference between a questionable defense and a weak chin. Perhaps he would like to enlighten us all with his boxing knowledge by listing all of the fighters who dropped Shavers with a single punch when he wasn’t exhausted or on Medicare.

Perhaps some day if Tweedle Dum actually pays attention to what others post he may learn enough about the great sport of boxing that he no longer embarrasses himself with ignorant posts.

- My wuddle friend, me thinks a rock must've dropped from the big bad quarry on your noggin.

Here's the fight. The real action starts at the 4:30 mark when the ref breaks and Shavers is coming back in as Quarry is trying to counter off the back foot which was pretty much the first 1:30 of the start:
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Ter ... iew=videos

It's a counter right that stuns Shavers who had great fighting instincts BTW. His torso immediately drops to Quarry's waist where the hurt is disguised as furious bobbing while Quarry flurries air over the top. Maybe one glancing left uppercut gets through, but Shavers straightens up and does a delayed death shuffle to the ropes where he bobs and weaves as Quarry restarts his air flurry. 80% of what Quarry threw wasn't landing and nothing clean, I said he wasn't a great finisher. Finally he straightens Shavers up again and prompty knocks him helpless to the ropes, a clear KD under modern rules(didn't even have the one peice foam padding for the turnbuckles).

The KD shortly after wasn't even a KD, Shavers grabbed Quarry who tossed the long gone Shavers down as if he was a rag doll. Shavers was so prime he had enough hair to look like Ken Norton at a distance, yet so gone that he paid the ref no nevermind, instead backing to the corner to hang both arms over the ropes to keep up(Oh, wait, he's fatigued you say)!

Seconds later the fight stopped when even the 3 Blind Mice would've called it.

It was a single counter right by a tubby Quarry near his expiration date that Shavers("I got hit with a good shot and just couldn't recover.") never recovered from in spite of 30 sec of open space where nothing or little is landing by Quarry with Shavers barely able to throw.

I was more interested in Clancy shilling Dunphy for a Quarry/Foreman match that the embarrassed Dunphy handled with aplomb we seldom see in today's negative post fight interviewing style of Gray and Kellerman.

Tweedle Dum continues his flurry of nonsense rather than admitting to his total lack of boxing knowledge. He fails to understand that getting "stunned" by a solid puncher like Quarry hardly qualifies someone as having a weak chin. He also seems to have failing eye sight as he is unable to see the many power shots Shavers takes from Quarry before finally getting stopped. I guess since he's so obsessed with wasting time trying to cover his ignorance, I won't ask him yet again to provide the answer to my earlier quiz.

Fare well my weak minded ninny.

- He wasn't just stunned, he never recovered enough to throw any meaningful punches in spite of plenty of time. As he stated in his own words. Very underrated defense before having the plug pulled.

Squatty Galento knocks his block off, plain and simple. Joe had to hit him with everything including the kitcheon appliances in his 105th fight to bring him down. Now, Joe was a finisher my soft bodied wuddle friend, NOT a tubby Quarry near his expiration date........boxing 101.

Hard to recover when you're pounded all over the ring. Oh yeah, I forgot that Tweedle Dum can't see well enough to tell when punches actually land.

Me thinks that Tweedle Dum failed Boxing 101 as well as his vision test.

..often people can watch the same fight and "see" it differently. john l's is about the way i saw quarry/shaver...

Galento VS

Buster Mathis sr.
I see Buster out pacing and out working Galento for the most part. I some how
imagine it will be like his fight against Chuvalo. Except I see Galento catching more
shots.
Mathis UD

Lennox Lewis
I think Lewis drops Galento out early. Maybe in 2.
Tommy Morrison

Wlad Klitschko
Wald would be cautious and slowly start to lay the hammer on Galento after a few
rounds. Galento would do his best, but after being busted up a merciful ref would
step in and save Galento. Perhaps a replay of Wlad vs Mercer.


Ernie Terrell
Ernie would get caught by Galento as he leaned in and went to exchange, but I think
despite some good exchanges, Terrell gets a decision win over Galento.

Joe Bugner
Galento and Bugner mix it up early, but big Joe works his way to a decision avoiding
Galento's power. A close fight this one I could see. But Bugner gets the nod.

Ernie Shavers
Both have the power, I can see Shavers dropping the bomb that ends it around the
4th, but it is not a strethc of my imagination to see Galento getting a KO win at any
point. He had some decent meat behind his shots, and could land the left that would
end Shavers night.
I would say Shavers TKO 4. BUT....

Larry Holmes
Holmes stops Galento late, maybe around the 8th onwards. It would be a one sided
affair, with Holmes leading behind long range jabs and rights.

The video quality isn't very good on Youtube. Perhaps that's the only version he's seen.

- The quality of your posts is 10x worse. I don't care if you had each of your eyeballs glued to Shavers and Quarry and linked to a video recorder, you'd still be clueless.

Quarry was a spent force as a contender. He was knocked down by Joe Alexander in his next fight, KOed by Frazier and Norton, and was retired just 2 yrs later for a series of well documented fitfall comebacks as he battled serious health issues.

God bless Shavers, the Acorns of the world makes boxing the most exciting and best sport, but he had a weak chin as he established throughout his career and you can't argue it any other way.

I tried to be kind to Tweedle Dum, but he just doesn’t know when to stop digging his own grave. Obviously he is visually impaired as well as intelligence challenged. His insistence on adhering to his questionable judgments actually rings rather sad, and could be held up as an example of how poorly youngsters are educated these days. An open mind and a little effort could still work wonders for you my addle-brain simpleton.

And I notice that once again Tweedle Dum is unable to answer my simple quiz.
