    “I've lost all respect for the Champion. It’s ridiculous that a man of Carnera’s weight should let Loughran or Paulino stay 15 rounds with him. Loughran should have had about the same chance against Carnera as Billy Petrolle would have in the same ring with me!? I figured Carnera would stop him early?? I’m glad I didn’t see the fight. I'd like to see him try and step on MY toes!?
    This is where I stop playing. From now on it is to be serious business with me. I alone can win the title for me...and I AM going to do it.” - Max Baer

    No fast twitch. It can be a killer.

    Choose your parents well, kiddos.

    Man, his effort against Lykhovich was really good, he had some snap and really used that stick..

    I don’t know how he’s managing it from the other side - but hey, welcome aboard Maxie!

    I hope he’s open to Q and A later down the track.

    I want to know if Galento literally stank like they say.

    This is a strange comment coming from Baer who not only went the distance with both of those fighters but also managed to lose to them. Carnera beat them both.

    "Max Baer thinks guy he destroyed should be embarassed for not knocking out guys he lost to."

    "More news at 11".

    Primo is still one of my favorites. Fine champion, and a decent man.
