Carnera vs Valuev.

Probably done four times already, but I don't venture into the classic forum too often. Who do you pick?

 

Da Preem. History has been unkind to him, but I think he looks impressive on film, or at least a great deal more impressive than I had been lead to believe he was.

 

I voted for "Carnera by points". :bbb

 

This is an insult to Carnera.

 

Carnera was an insult to the mafia.

 

Typical. Carnera was a much better fighter than Valuev. He was in a different class.

 

Carnera. I didnt have to think twice.

 

Yeah, from what I've seen I'd say Primo.

 

Primo can at least move around the ring in grace compare to Valuev.

 

i think it would be a no-contest as no one would be able to stay awake to score it

 

Dont say that,

Primo has this hands down, Carnera has the hand speed, foot movement, and jab to out point Valuev imo. It would be more action pack than the Holyfiled fight, mostly on the part of Carnera. I see a easy points win, 12 or 15 for Carnera.

 

yes i know Carnera would win as he is the better boxer but how boring woud it be it would be boring and 1 sided never good

 

If you had asked me this question two or three years ago, I probably would have picked Valuev. But, after seeing his horrible performances against the much smaller Chagaev, a faded John Ruiz and ancient Holyfield, I can't imagine any prime lineal champions dropping a fight to Nikolay. I'm sorry but he's simply horrible.....

 

There is no need to appologise when you are spot on!

 

I don't like to bad mouth champions, but I honestly can't understand why this guy is holding any sort of a title - alphabet or otherwise. I went to a bar where Holyfield vs Valuev was being aired live. I saw about 9 rounds of the match, and left feeling like a 45 year old Holyfield had been robbed, despite a 12 year age difference and a 1 ft, 100 Lb size deficit.
