Prime Carnera v any former cruiser world champ, how would he have fared?

Primo was the daddy of all super heavyweights. A pioneer. A glimpse of a magnificent future.

 

That's a pivot by you .. were talking heart and you're the first person I've ever read on any thread questioning Carnera's ...

 

Right, this wasn't you ?

 

Nobody understood the magnitude of Carnera. His relevance to a future era. It started with him.

 

I think he could. It only looked awkward because he wasn’t fighting men his own size.

 

He went down 10 of 11 times because he had a broken ankle.

 

Carnera had a lot of flaws and I mean A LOT of Flaws, but heart was not one of them.

 

Ankle was not broken,he went down because he had a shaky chin,and no defence for Baer's right hand.

 

Size advantage only works against Carnera. Nobody else.

 

“After undergoing thorough exam and X-rays, at the Columbus hospital, it was indeed revealed that Carnera had broken his ankle. In addition to the break -a clean chip off the anklebone- it was discovered Carnera had torn ligaments in the ankle. Primo said he injured the leg in the first round when being felled by one of Baers shots. After the exam his leg was put in a cast and Dr Panoni told the press he was doubtful primo would be able to meet Baer in a proposed September rematch” - Page 145 Primo Carnera: the life and career of the heavyweight boxing champion by Joseph S. page.
