    Norton would wear Carnera down. You had to be a brilliant boxer or a heavy puncher to beat a peak Norton. Carnera was neither.

    I don´t know about TKO man.....
    Only pure punchers stopped Primo........Carnera had underrated strenght and heart.....Norton by close decision......in my humble opinion....

    This would be a good fight. Similar calibre of fighters actually. I think Norton matches Carnera in strength and with his a bit awkward style could close the distance and work the body quite well. I expect Norton to win an UD. Carnera would be competative though. Not a onesided match-up.

    Kenny did have some problems with big-wide strong guys.
    But Primo didn't have the ammo to hurt Kenny with punches, but his size
    would help him immensely.

    Kenny to build up a big-lead, and then weathers some stamina issues late.
    Primo wins the last 3 rounds to make it closer than it looks. 10-5-0 Norton.

    Well, I must say the uppercut Primo finished Sharkey of was a beauty. And Norton´s defence plays right into that. Maybe Carnera manages another one like that.

    Norton takes it, but I'm not decided on exactly how he gets the win. Decision seems likely, but I suppose a stoppage is doable.

  10. Cooper wud have knocked ol glass chinned Kenny out,
    "cold",
    Carana, wud give Cooper minimal problems with his long 1 jab,
    but Cooper wud counter with 1 hook,
    n send Carna cold unconcious.

    Ol Henry, 1 underrated punch3r.

    i love kenny norton but i think that carnera would have chance to knock him out, carnera is underrated as puncher, and he was a very strong guy, of course norton had hi sskill , he might beat carnera by decision if he fight smartly but i don´t see it clearly

    Norton UD or late TKO.

    Carnera fought like a lighter slickster, which would play into Kenny's strengths. This is ironic, since Carnera had the size, strength, and durability to force Kenny backwards and outslug him if he chose to remain flatfooted.
