    Two giants of their day. This probably would have been a good novelty fight back then.

    Carnera is more proven against better competition, and has decent enough skills to outbox and outwork Baer

    Buddy. He has enough power to knock out Carnera quite quickly. He also has quite a decent chin himself. I figure he can maul Carnera early and never let him recover.

    Buddy especially when older brother Max who wiped the floor with Carnera would be in his corner.

    I think Max was better and a harder puncher than his younger brother. But, lest we forget, Carnera was actually outboxing Max Baer and won the majority of the rounds (I believe) on a broken ankle.
