    Well said. This is the crux of why this decision is actually harder than it seems.

    A lot of people want to think that they would pick Louis. But would they? And would they be wrong or right to? Does Carnera see significant success the way modern superheavyweights have? its interesting.

    Hey idiots Louis was about 6'2 and was born in 1914. If he were 18 today and using our methods of nutrition, better medical care, weight lifting, etc. him being taller and able to add on muscle is not close to unrealistic. Certainly 225 is not too unrealistic for you, is it?

    Bottom line, if this is 1940,Wlad aint 250.
