    I get it that Carnera was better than given credit for, but he would have his hands full with any one of those men.

    Huh? Assuming that the stats for AJ are no overstated like so many fighters, he has precisely 1/2" on Carnera.
    Who easily has a longer reach at 85", & even with modern training at their heaviest & lightest pro weights Carnera easily carried more muscle (before PEDs were even invented). Let alone had a much bigger bone structure.

    I agree that AJ would win, just your point about size was...Pointless.

    This. Foreman himself wouldn't be able to beat all five of these guys in one night.

    Even he probably wouldn't.

    They would only have to work out a shred strategy, to make it impossible!

    No... I don’t think he beats all five in a single evening and frankly I’m not sure anyone would. That would take a lot of combined rounds and stamina. And the toll of each guy landed a few punches here and there would add up. The collateral damage by the end of the evening would be ample

    Saint Primo wouldn’t need three rounds to dispatch of all five of these mortals let alone three for each bah!

    The preem in an aged state at the edge of the universe in the pocket dimension of Zuell was competitive with Suga Valuev for the Valhalla-weight belt!

    these men are not even after thoughts he sparred with Demi gods in his training camps men like Prime Tyson and modern sized Rocky Marciano where bullied regularly for his holinesses cruel amusement, ignorant peasant don’t ask such blatantly stupid questions lest you be trolled and mocked as the forum idiot.

    Primo was way more experienced than Joshua, who is still very green as a professional and as far as power it’s debatable who has more power, since Primo had over 100 fights while Joshua hasn’t had even 30 yet.
