    Two SHW giants and former heavyweight champions go at it. And Carnera was more skilled than given credit for and actually stopped more guys his size than smaller like Impetierre (think I got it right).

    Who wins?

    I'd like to know all the guys Primo stopped his own size.

    But Lewis easily.

    Repeat of Lewis vs Michael Grant. Lennox is way faster, too powerful, and too skilled.

    Golden hulk , you took the word s out of my mouth. I was just thinking of Lewis v Grant, with Carnera crashing to the canvas and out by the second round.

    I feel like I can't do a proper breakdown with Carnera without tomatos being flung my way, so I'll make this quick and say Lewis KO 10.

    Was that 0 after the 1 intentional or a typo?

    Primo softens him up with his telephone pole jab,man- handles him inside and eventually catches him with his monstrous uppercut almost decapitating Lennox it goes just 5 rounds . Boxing Commissions decide there must be a Behemoth division for Carnera alone.

    Lewis stops him early. Completely different level to Carnera.

    I see you are a true Carnera fan. He may have indeed gave Lewis problems

    Are you saying Carnera kills Lewis in 2 rounds? Idk, seems far fetched
