There was once a comic strip whose main character was named "Jor Palooka." In this strip he was a clueleass guy who tried to be a boxer. The name "Palooka" means someone who is rather dimwitted and slow. It is a term of derision.

The word has two main senses, both principally American. One refers to an unsuccessful boxer, especially one who is both large and stupid, the other to any large and stupid or clumsy person, an oaf or lout.

Bazooka it's a type of gun that blows things up, or a type of short-lasting cavity inducing bubble gum with Bazooka Joe as their mascot. (KIDDING).
Palooka is a dolt, idiot. Usually in regards to some game or sport.
