If you wanted to see an noncompetitive massacre, look no further than Carnera vs Ike. Ike would be brutalized.
What did I just read? On the other hand, you´ve seen that NASA right now found evidence for a parallel universe? Check google! Could it be that they investigated BF24? And found the Janitor-Chok-Spheres where Baer was a high skilled technican and Primo was a top 4 super heavyweight? Very suspicious.
This one is kind of weird. I can see Primo our boxing him and taking a decision however close it may be. But I can also see Ike slaughtering Carnera. The only thing that stops me from favoring Ike here is his lack of resume. Tua (who I felt he lost to narrowly) and Byrd aren’t enough. Ike was going to be outboxed or stopped by a Lewis had he continued fighting.
Byrd would have toyed with Carnera and Tua would have blown him out in a round, Ike had far more power than Carnera.
Folks should not be embarrassed that the heroes of old don't have a chance against modern athletes. They should recognize the crucial role these ol' timers played in the development of the sport, paving the way for athletic wonders of the post-modern era. In that way, we can honor and appreciate them and avoid their humiliation.
