Primo Carnera or Jess Willard?

That’s a tough one.
Would love to see this fight with modern cameras.

 

Either Carnera would win a wide points decision, or Willard would win by stoppage somewhere.

Either way, you can't have them both losing!

 

Very interested to see who you would go for.

 

A prime Willard takes this one,,,,very ugly fight I'd say

 

I'd pick Willard in a finish fight.

More natural fighter, not as well taught but better instrincts, and a much better chin, and probably better power.

 

A tepid, bumbling waltz which Carnera wins over 15.

 

Big Jess for me, more durable. Not a good one to watch, at lot of mauling and falling in to each other. If it s a 15 over fight, then Willard could get a stoppage.

 

I would pick Carnera, provided we have a lenient referee.

I think that provided Carnera can come back from a couple of knockdowns, Willard probably doesn't have the killer instinct to finish him, and Carnera takes the decision.

Of course if it happens today, Willard very likely gets a TKO, and Willar probably wisn a finish fight.

So I am going with Carnera under 30s rules, and probably more eras then not if that makes sense.

 

I can’t split them.

Immovable oaf vs Inevitable lummox.

 

Both very overrated methodical rudimentary big men. I'll probably go with Carnera

 

lol, 90% of the forum craps on both guys there are only a few who seem to overrate them

 

Good

 

Willard - He didn't have the physical disadvantages that the vast majority of Carnera's competition had and was probably a more competent boxer; stronger and tougher than Carnera.
