4 rounds of the sweet science.

Who would you pick to win, why and how?

I'd favor Butterbean.
At the weight of 300 lbs, the Bean was just right.
Gigantic Power and deceptively quick.
Galento had quite a bit of a punch himself, but I think he'd be outgunned and overwhelmed in this bout. The Bean either gets a 3rd round tko or wins by UD,while scoring a few knockdowns in the bout.

I'd favor Tony Galento. While he was a slight novelty the wins he amassed were legit. Butterbean was a novelty act, matched soft or matched in fixed bouts for most of his career. Tony Galento actually tested himself sometimes, and had more ability out of necessity than Butterbean was ever demanded to have.

Gotta agree.

Not really, Galento fought tons of bums, Bean would be right up his alley wouldnt he.
