Tony Stabenau was described by Larry Gains as a fighter that "could stand up to punishment wonderfully well." Gains also described Stabenau as a bigger edition of Harry Greb, as the Buffalo heavyweight "tended to throw the rule book out of the window."

"There was no real harm in Stabby. He was a fighting man who loved to fight, and didn't really want the rules to stand in the way of his pleasure. In Toronto, I met him halfway and it was a very rough night indeed." - Larry Gains (An Autobiography of Larry Gains)
