my take is that Carnera should not be compared to modern super-heavyweights. The modern super-heavyweights are big men in comparison to the...
"How do you then explain his awesome ko percentage?" I hesitate to get into this because of the bad feeling, but Max Schmeling gave an...
"devil's advocate" I guess that is fair. I sometimes react if I feel a fighter is being unfairly trashed, as I did for Cerdan on the LaMotta...
