What other short men beat Primo Carnera?

Tommy Burns maybe

 

Only the best could have done it!

 

all i know is fury would have schooled him.

you relics probably wouldnt agree, thinking any fighter before 1950 were gods.

 

Fury would have schooled who, and why?

 

primo carnera. because hes much faster, fluent and smarter. he'd tie him in knots. :smoke

 

I mean, Toney was 5'9" and I funk he could do it.

 

dwight braxton could have done it.

 

I thought so too but he had a much less impressive heavyweight record than I remember. But I'd still favor him, oddly enough.

 

Basically yes.

Fights with enormous size disparities don’t get sanctioned today, so smaller fighters don’t become really adept at beating bigger fighters.

Men like Langford were a case of necessity being the mother of invention.

 

Even if that is the case, little men boxed from the same training manual as the big men, and the laws of physics were still the same.
