Primo Carnera or Jess Willard?

Fight to the finish, I am going to go with Willard.

 

Willard was more durable than Carnera, and punched a lot harder, but Carnera was by far the better technician.

 

I really don't know why you bother replying to me with the words "technician" and "Carnera" in the same sentence (embellished with "by far" emphasis, no less).

 

Carnera was pretty good from a technical standpoint.

He boxed well, used feints well, and was good both at range and on the inside.

Willard for contrast was a limited boxer, who made good use of his reach, but was never going to surprise you much.

We can compare footage if you want!

 

Will we finally get a teaser on "Loved and Hated - The Re-Evaluation of Primo Carnera" (plus analytical footage pleaaaase!!)

@McGrain You guys still ingore my sugg. on the Primo Section!

Eventually something like www.Carnera24.com ??

 

I've got a better idea. Why don't you produce a 'compare and contrast' skills analysis video, as a precursor to your upcoming and entirely neutral book on Carnera?

 

Post of the thread. Great job, Griff

 

If we pull up say Willard Moran, and compare it to Sharkey Carnera II, and a few other carefully chosen examples, I don't think that you will be left with much of an argument!

 

Even in Carnera's earlier fights, before he learned to use his size effectively, he is boxing and throwing feints.

He looks like a young Anthony Joshua.

 

Man, I've missed this place!!!

 

Willard probably easily

 

I'm not stopping you from making your case. Or, do you just want to keep on typing about how you could make one?

 

Primo actually had an iron chin. . Guys often turned him over cos his balance was poor. . I see Willard running away with this over the 26 round distance

 

I am not stopping you from making your case!

If you feel that Willard was technically superior to Carnera, then make your damn argument, and that will force my hand!
