    I have been here for a long time, and never saw this fantasy fight.

    Who takes it?

    Is it a good fight?

    I think this one would be very interesting. Carrera did well vs. smaller heavies. Rocky would nearly have to jump to land upstairs.

    For a really big guy, Carnera had good stamina to go 15 rounds and was fairly athletic. A solid puncher, perhaps as good a Moore or Walcott, maybe better if he got his weight into the blow. Underrated in terms of heart, I think he would Carnera would make a good showing in a losing effort before being stopped in the mid to later rounds.

    Way to big with a bit of competence Carnera for this to be one sided. Monumental size difference

    Two of my favorite fighters.

    I see alot of body pounding as well as long reachy uncoordinated arm fiddling downstairs here.

    A crude, sloppy, and at time comical affair that goes the distance. Both fighters stumbling and tripping around the ring and each other. Rocky lands relatively more and lands harder, but not enough to end matters early. He wins a decision that no one wants to see again.

    Carnera is the best H2H fighter of all time. Look at how big he is! Puny Marciano doesnt stand a chance.

    He isn't as big. Or as ripped.

    Marciano gets KTFO by the greatest man to ever set foot in the ring

    A good version of Primo could mess Marciano' around using his physical advantage s .But it wouldn't be good to see ,Rocky s temper would flare up and he'd hit on the breaks ,on the bell and in the nut's !
    But Marciano's clubbing would take its toll on a defensive Primo and eventually he'd drop him.Then it's just a case of how Long before the refs seen enough of Carnera hitting the floor ..
    Marciano Wrsc 10.

    They share a lot of detractors, and they have a problem, because they can't both loose!

    Yeah, so many here are torn between what guy they want to see knocked out more than the other..

    Nobody is allowed to defend either guy!
