Carnera was 270 lbs professional athlete, he could kill a man accidentally with arm punch, WTF?

Carnera definitely had power, the man was a sculped 260 but he wasn't a devastating puncher or anything

 

With Primo getting all the attention I feel like Johhny Wilson desreve his own thread..possibly. the best Middleweight title reign of alltime.

 

Hulk Hogan defeated an admittedly over the hill Andre.

 

Correct me if im wrong but a pretty good percentage of his wins came by KO/TKO. Heavyweights were smaller back then yeah but he definitely wasn't a small puncher. Of course being sculpted doesn't result in power but it can help

 

Suggest you go see just whom the majority of KOs were against, and how many of them were legit.

 

Nah, all of Professional wrestling has virtually always been scripted.
You can even see a youtube video where Hogan says nobody knew whether Anrdre would let homself be body slammed.
And Hogan tore a lat muscle from the enormous effort.

 

In Hogan's biography, he admitted that Andre could have snapped his neck if he wanted to.

He also admitted to being afraid of Harley Race.

On a related note, Primo was a fine wreslter, and they got him into the fake stuff after his boxing career when he was throwing around the wrestlers before a guest appearance, and the promoter realized he had a natural.

 

I am not saying Carnera is on the level punching of say Tyson or any other hard hitter. He had a decent punch and if he landed "Right", he could take a man's head off. It just rarely happen. He is in the middle of pack imo of hitters. The uppers are Louis, Foreman, Tyson, ete. Than we have the decent hitters like Carnera.

 

I'm sure he would hurt any boxer if he connected perfect punch. It's the other matter whether he would land, but beliefs that Carnera couldn't punch hard are stupid.
