Let's try and improve Primo Carnera

Set him up with Patches O'Houlihan as chief second.

"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a fist!"

 

A lot, starting with his jab, he ought to be shooting that out there far more often and with more force, seems like he always paws with it and allows these much smaller guys to get on the inside. Obviously after that I'd go with the straight right which I hardly ever see, a few powerful jabs followed by a big straight and left hook at mid range would be highly beneficial, considering the only time I ever see him attempt to throw combos is on the inside and when doing so he seems to prefer hooks, though that right uppercut should be his initial reaction once a fighter closes the distance, and he looks good whenever he does throw it.

Lastly, he seems to place his weight over his left foot and hunches over a bit, I'd have him more on his right and leaning back a bit to use his height and reach to it's full potential and be ready to land a devastating straight.

 

Also I haven't seen a thread on here like this, we need more of these, I like talking about stuff like this.

 

Hes garbage! Cant be fixed

 

You would make a shitty god, with that attitude.

 

He lacked good power, and a good chin and you can't fix those.
"He had nothing." Joe Louis.

 

Thats not funny IB Patches is dead ok..HES DEAD!!!

 

Make him less Italian.

 

I suspect that there isn't a whole lot more that could be done with him to be honest.

I think Abe Attel did a good job of polishing him, and making use of what physical attributes he had, and I think that he was an overachiever.

Sometimes a fighter just finds their level.

 

I didn't want to be the one to say it...

 

The fact that his sized was never fully utilized hurt him a lot. If his fighting style was tailored to his strength he could have been great, but it always seems to me like he fought like he was average sized.

 

It's all right............I'll go there.
