Better All-Around Fighter: Primo Carnera or Riddick Bowe?

In what way ws the testimony of the Sharkey fight ," full of factual errors? What would be their motives for making claims of fixed fights?

Both men saw loads of Carnera's bouts up close and personal but you ,who have only seen a few grainy clips on You Tube are better qualified to judge the genuiness of the fights? Yeah sure!

 

"See stated outright that on the few occasions when opponents could not be threatened by guns and brass knuckles, then Primo lost."

Lol. So these guys threatened boxers with guns, and when they beat Primo up anyway, they weren't harmed?

All these write ups you link are full of contradictions, dumb boxing analysis, and bad facts.


Nat Fleischer, the most renowned ring expert in the country, stated in plain English that he couldn't understand how Primo won. When I talked to him about it recently, he said, "Sharkey should have knocked him out. Carnera won that fight with an invisible punch. I don't hold Carnera responsible though," he went on. "He was built up by set-ups. He was a nice guy and never meant anyone any harm. He just wasn't made to be a fighter."

"invisibile punch."

 

Roy Ace Clark & Bombo Chevalier were both threatened.As I said you're in denial ,nothing would change your mind not signed confessions or film of opponents being given money under the table .No pleasure or profit engaging with you further on this subject.

 

Well of course you would know best!

 

"He was counted out. Manager Buckley, making pantomimic gestures, rushed to Carnera's corner and demanded to inspect Primo's gloves, implying that they must have contained horseshoes or other such implements of iron."

Fixes fight, checks opponents gloves for horseshoe

 

Well Sherlock, I can see the punch connecting lol.

 

If that isn't enough, the left hook blasts him too

Invisible punch.
Unless you have youtube and a $35 internet connection.

 

Carnera is a fraud.
Cheats his way to the top 10.

Lasts 2 rounds longer than Baer against Louis.

 

You didn't answer my questions on the other issues and I believe the Sharkey fight was a tank job. Shakey handled Carnera easily in their first fight.His excuse for losing to Carnera was that he "saw a vision of Earnie Schaaf".Yeah sure

 

Look at Primo's left arm in that clip as he throws the right uppercut. It swings too. He hasn't planted his left side to create any whip. It looks like he's throwing a big invisible bucket of water away. No wonder the left hook missed; it was coming back from the other corner.

 

Best line on the whole thread! Well said!

 

Wow great logic,if my 5 years old grand son had used that argument I would be ashamed of him!

 

Why not is the best line! Want to answer it? What animosity would Gallico have towards Carnera? Carnera spoke well of See until the day he died!

 

I first saw the fight about 1960 ,when you were still in your Dad's ball bag.

 

His let foot is planted, which is why he can raise his right heel for the uppercut.
The left hook didn't even miss.
