Primo Carnera's ability

Either of them Undisputed Worlds Heavyweight Champion?
Godfrey had the handcuffs on for some fights .
Stribling ran up a long string of kos over his chauffeur in tank towns its a matter of public record.

 

There might have been some home cooking, or there might not have been.

If you think that there was, then the onus is on you to produce the evidence, otherwise it is just pure speculation.

 

There were allegations made against Baer and Braddock as well.

 

A reasonable explanation might just be that Carnera knocked out Campolo and then Campolo went on to beat Arturo Godoy?

 

Here, you just show the extent of your own ignorance.

 

I don't think Leon Spinks or Buster Douglas are in the hall of fame

 

You have no difficulty doing so on other matters. So what would be your best guess ?
Or will you duck the question again?

 

It is impossible to say really.

Th Hall might have taken a collective decision that he would not get in, or it might simply be that nobody had proactively advanced his case.

As for the list of top punchers, it is such a complex exercise compiling such a list, that he might simply have been overlooked.

 

Yes it is ,pure speculation,I haven't said I think it was, I just haven't ruled out the possibility.

 

To ask the obvious question, has Carnera actually been on the ballot?

 

If he hasn't why ,given his stats, has he not? Keep wriggling.lol

 

I would want to know whether he had actually been on the ballot, before even attempting to work out what the Hall are thinking.

If he has not been on the ballot, then it might simply be that nobody ever took up his cause proactively.

He would in any event, have been a candidate of marginal credentials.

If he was on the ballot, then he might have been voted down by 51% to 49%.

But all this is irrelevant.

Even if everybody with a vote in the Hall of Fame, saw the situation exactly as you do, I would still be guided by my own interpretation of the evidence.

 

Braddock had a no contest where he broke his hand .Baer had a guy not trying,Hardly the same as a catalogue of dive artists on your resume is it?

 

As time goes on, as more people embrace modern Super-heavyweights, Carneras story will be reopened and he will be remembered as the first of a kind. Primo was the Superheavyweight prototype at a time when the world was not yet ready for that kind of heavyweight. A renaissance is coming.
