Carnera vs Valuev

The Ambling Alp vs The Russian Giant. Who would win?

 

I'm going to give the Russian giant the decision here.

 

Carnera relied on his size ,he wasn't a puncher at anywhere near top level, neither was the Russian, and Valuev had a significantly better chin. I take him to win a boring decision .

 

That's the main reason I picked valuev. From the two he's most likely to be on his feet at the end.

 

I figure they would both finish on their feet. Size might win it for Valuev. Even Carnera would look small, but my impression is Valuev was slow while Carnera was rather fast for a big guy. Carnera to eke out a close decision in what I agree would probably be one of the all-time dullest fights.

 

Carnera had a speed and skills edge. I like him on points. Valuev was a solid hitter, but nothing special.
