    I don't have a problem with trying Carnera on the comments of Louis and Tunney, as long as you give equal weighting to the testimonies of other fighters, and the testimonies of these fighters when they said something positive.

    Schmeling had history with Primo too.
    Unfounded claim #20 for McVey.
    You are accruing quite the tab here.

    So does Carnera's testimonial on Sharkey after their second fight, hold equal weight to Louis' testimonial on Carnera after their fight?

    What about Foremans testimonial on Frazier?

    OK - LOL - so it's Leonard supporting your view then...

    ...But, isn't your alignment with Leonard's view the same thing as supporting it?

    And, by the way, Leonard did end up getting Carnera/Baer a bit wrong, didn't he?



    Coffee sounds like a good idea, though. ;)
