1939 Photograph of Tony Galento showing off his massive arms in the days leading up his famous heavyweight Title Bout with Joe Louis. Despite losing, Galento's trash talking earned him a reputation as one of the most colorful fighters in the history of the sport. Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a paper caption, the image presents well with a chip off the upper left corner being the only real flaw.
