    Certainly would not be a classic watch

    Carnera wins and calls out TUAminator for the next fight of the century.

    You have seen them both fight right?

    You understand if this is in the modern era half of what Carnera could already barely do is thrown in a trash can.

    From a technical standpoint, Carnera was one of the better super heavies that there has ever been.

    He was big, he could box, he could go to war, and he could use his weight.

    Fury should have given you some idea how dangerous he was in his last fight!

    Henry slept Oliver McCall and beat Zolkin , two guys better than Primo. Henry takes this man to school

    I think that Henry. who I feel was talented, did not beat McCall, could have achieved more if he had a few more tougher fights prior to his bout with Lewis.... too much of a shock and change in talent...dont think he would have ever beaten Lewis but could have extended his career a bit longer with more meaningful fights...
