    It’s crazy that we live in a time where we have a circus dictator president, masses of citizens refusing to wear face masks, and people continuing to rate Riddick Bowe higher than Primo Carnera.

    I would suggest not trying to compete in argument concerning Preem with Rez he has a way of actually making me second guess my rating of Carnera.

    Just look at video footage of Carnera and you'll change your mind right back

    I just finished watching a bunch of Carnera fights in the past couple of months, and he was really a terrible fighter. Bowe was a very good fighter. Although Bowe's no ATG, the gap between them is very huge.
