    Maybe if his name were Cincinnati Williams he’d have a better chance.

    Akron Williams

    Throw in a nickname like “Hacksaw” and he’s an elite athlete.

    If the fight is legit then Williams wins by KO.

    Any other outcome would be dodgy.

    Hard to say if this fight Would be legit with poor Primo involved in it!
    But if it is, then yer, Williams eventually drops him. Cleveland, as much as he's been ripped apart by a few, could punch. Against a guy like Carnera, then my pick is Williams by ko 9

    It's easy to tell if a Carnera fight was legit.

    If he lost, it's legit.

    Carnera was a lot more proven at world level than Williams.
