    Your point? I never said Ruiz or Holy could beat Carnera. I said no middleweight is going 15 with Carnera unless he fights to survive.

    Toney isn't going to stand there going toe to toe with Carnera and making it 15 rounds as a middleweight. He'd need to be a heavyweight.

    LOL. Carnera was a legit giant. Huge hands, huge bone structure, a legit massive man. He puts Hagler through a window.

    Not "at best"-I have never heard & welcome you to show me any source saying Andre was less than 6'11", which would make him 5" shorter than his *billed* 7'4".
    And while the former may be accurate, it is also very possible that he was originally something over 7', an unknown amount.
    You do know he had a pituitary disorder, & his massive bone structure was crumbling, & he was increasingly bent over?
    The latter by itself makes one look shorter.

    Well, you did mention biceps size quite a few times on this forum. Carnera had massive biceps, why do you dislike him?

    The usual suspect doesn’t know who he is replying to or what he’s talking about. Or is he trying to “reply”’ indirectly. SMH. Sad.
