There's a lot to compare with the two. Both fought a lot of tomato cans and dive artists. Both had manufactured careers, Tucker more so than Carnera.
Norton was good but people on this thread are definitely underrating Louis's title opposition. Some of those were good also, and should be at...
It's actually a good list. Can't argue with any of the names, though people are bound to nitpick the order. I'd probably have at least half of...
