The allegorical New York Daily News columnist/cartoonist Bill Gallo anesthetized abroad this Tuesday at the age of 88.
Boxing was the admired action of Gallo, who, amazingly was still accidental assignment to the abridged he has formed at for an amazing seven decades.
Gallo wrote a cavalcade afterwards watching the Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito affray aftermost November and was addled and addled by the achievement of Pacquiao.
Here are some excerpts from Gallo’s cavalcade three canicule afterwards the action in Dallas, Texas: “…As anon as the bender started, it was amazingly credible that the aberration in weight would accept annihilation to do with the outcome. Nor did the 4-inch acme advantage Margarito had over this audacious Philippine Piston. All right, are you accepting a bit of the picture? You appetite more, like how acceptable is he as a fighter? Here it is, and you can quote: This is one hell of a fighter, the brand of which I haven’t apparent back Willie Pep and Sugar Ray Robinson. Yes, those two whom I’ve consistently admired as the best ever.”
“By the second round, Pac already had figured out how to beat this big man, who had his right hand cocked to throw at an unprotected chin,” Gallo wrote. “Never happened. Nearly every time Margarito threw that right, Pac, with his shifty, inventive head moves, eluded the punch – the same one Margarito had used to score 27 knockouts.”
“It seemed so natural for Pac – every time Margarito would miss, like a flash came two pumps of Pac’s right to Margarito’s jaw, followed by a nice left half-hook, half-uppercut. Those were the kind of moves Pep and Robby used to make. To the eyes of a fight buff, it was an artful and beautiful performance. Round by round, the slaughter continued.”
Gallo, an International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee and winner of the prestigious James J. Walker Award from the Boxing Writers Association of America, was ready to compare Pacquiao with great prizefighters from other generations:
“With every good – let’s make that, great – fighter there are always comparisons. It goes way back to Jack Dempsey: Was he as good or better than Joe Louis? Was Joe Louis better than Muhammad Ali or Rocky Marciano? Who really was the greatest? Was it Ali?”
“Some fight guys might say Ali, but most still won’t hand him that special title. The thing in boxing is that when the greats are compared, it always winds up in some kind of a fierce barroom argument.”
“So now we have a gym full of great lightweights – we’ll just stick with this division for now – to compare with Pacquiao. Take these: Is he as good or better than: Tony Canzoneri? My opinion – better. Barney Ross? Better. Roberto Duran? As good or even better. What about Henry Armstrong, who held three titles at the same time? Wasn’t he in the same class in throwing punches in multitudes? Didn’t Armstrong fight somewhat like Pacquiao?”
“My answer: No. They are different fighters. While Armstrong would bury his head into his opponent’s chest, firing lefts and rights to the body and head, Pacquiao is a thinking, deliberate puncher who rarely misses. I see Pac as the better fighter.”
Gallo, then, in his column, asked himself the toughest question of all – if Pacquiao is the best boxer his eyes have ever seen?
“I’m going to wind this up by asking myself this question: Okay, Mr. Boxing Man, are you telling me this Philippine Dynamo is the best you have ever seen? Yes, in a very long time. And he might just be the man who will eventually put boxing back in the upper deck of sports. Believe me, this kid who aspires to be big in Philippine politics, with his perpetual smile and special brand of punching ability, is indeed the goods.”
