  How Galento got the &quot;Two Ton&quot; prefixed to his name - <br>Wiki _ &quot;Though assumed by some sportswriters to have been a reference to his &quot;pulchritude&quot; or physical appearance, Galento&apos;s nickname, &quot;Two Ton&quot;, was apparently derived from his work as an iceman: a job he pursued in tandem with his pugilistic career. On one occasion, as a result of his ice-lugging commitments, Galento was reportedly upbraided by his cornerman for being late for a bout. &quot;Take it easy&quot;, the New Jersey-born slugger reputedly replied to his colleague&apos;s complaint, &quot;I had two tons of ice to deliver on my way here. I&apos;ll be right up.&quot;

  Joe Louis. One of the hardest punching heavyweights to ever walk God&apos;s Earth. Max Bear, Had gypsy blood in him. was Jewish. and looked about 46. Joe looked about 15 on the interview. and was dressed Like a James Bond villain from Spectre.

  In the beginning of this fight the announcer said some 33,000 fight fans in attendance. Well I bet there were over 30,000 mobsters, bookies, &amp; gumba&apos;s in that arena. 😂😂

  That Tony Galento fella is the perennial tomato 🍅 can in Boxing! No mouth pieces back then I guess? The Rabbit punches, holding the back of the heads, and all around lack of real conditioning make this hard to watch. But I did 😂😂😂
