    Who do you guys think had the better balance?
    Carnera with a fractured ankle against Baer, or Vitali in his battle with Lennox Lewis?

    Both fighters were in some of boxings most dangerous imaginable scenarios. One being in the ring against a motivated Baer with a fractured ankle. And the other being in the trenches with on each of boxings most dangerous fighters of all time, Lennox Lewis. I think Carnera gets underrated in terms of his skill and mechanics, so I thought it would be interesting to compare the two giants.

    Even though they lost, both Carnera and Vitali showed tremendous heart and durability in their respective bouts.

    So who do you guys think whethered the pressure better in terms of mainting their balance throughout the fight? Primo Carnera or Vitali Klitschko?

    Carnera was on the floor in that fight 11 times, once from falling from chasing with a jab.

    Soo... yeah.
