    Carnera had one of the best uppercuts I've ever seen in a big man and he also fought a lot of good and experienced competition.

    I feel like Carnera tends to get underrated by a lot of people these days. He had a good skill set and his physique was outstanding for that time. :chuck:

    You think Carnera has a “good skill set”

    That’s worthy of my emoji

    I think Carnera was a pretty decent fighter.

    Someone should start a thread about Carnera's skillset. That's a topic worthy of deeper exploration.

    But his physique is still outstanding. How many 6'5" men do you know who can maintain a lean 265lb without steroids? How many men do you know who can maintain a lean 265lb?

    I have always argued that he was better than given credit for.
