    Carnera was unequivocally the better fighter, but Briggs is the bigger puncher!

    Briggs is a better and more powerful puncher.

    Carnera is better fighter.

    Briggs on all counts for me, I think he would beat the **** out of Primo.
    Briggs gave Lewis a tough 5 rds.
    Carnera would last about as long as Grant did with Lennox.

    Carnera gave Louis tough 6 tough rounds. Briggs wouldn't last longer against Joe.

    The Saint Primo from the mountain of madness would utterly obliterate Briggs people would be scraping Shannon's remnants off there clothes in every row.

    St Primo would be flying up to the heavens with angel wings, if he took a shot from Briggs!

    Nope Carnera never won a round and post fight Louis said,"HE HAD NOTHING"

    ps Briggs had Lewis in trouble twice.


    Briggs took flush shots from Vitali for 12 rds without once going down and he was an old man then.

    You realise the film we have of Saint Primo is post Mountain of madness when he transcend reality... he left us a gross depiction of reality and sacrificed his title for our sins he fought a prime Suga Valuev for the position of heavens master of war and destroyed the second moon in the process with a left uppercut he missed!

    Valhalla weight boxers do not compete with mortals for obvious reasons you unenlightened old fool.

    He'd take flight once he realised Shannon was nothing short of a peasant mortal with a big mouth.

    But one needed assistance from gangsters to compile his wins.

    Louis more or less mugged Carnera. I'd say a good number of Joe's opponents, before and after Primo, fared better than he did.
