    The best version of Washington vs the best version of Carnera. Who takes this battle of the giants?

    Very random. Unlike some, I don't think much of Carnera, but at least he won the undisputed title. That's more than a scrub like Washington has ever done, or ever will.

    Carnera UD

    I leaned towards Carnera as well.

    Primo Carnera was a good fighter. And I at least give Gerald Washington credit for starting so late in the game and after transitioning from another sport, yet still establishing some sort of presence in boxing. Very hard to do for anyone given those set of circumstances.

    We always have decent matchups for ol' Primo Carnera.
