    Dear Friends
    kind regards
    Today we continue with our 10 match Fantasy Warfare tribute to David Haye.
    Haye won the WBA World heavyweight title from Nikolai Valuev.
    Valuev is considered by many to be a giant circus freak who is limited in his bixing ability in a poor era of heayweight boxing.
    This is parallel to Primo Carnera, a man who was also considered a giant circus freak in a poor era of heavyweight boxing (at least untill Joe Louis entered the picture).
    Would David Haye be able to outbox Carnera much like he did Valuev?
    Or would you consider Carnera to be a giant who could step on our current British champ?
    If you could give me your views and contribute in the poll I'd appreciate it.
    yours thankfully
    John

    Haye would have stopped Carnera early.

    Have to go with Haye here. Carnera was an oafish giant, somewhat like Valuev, with limited boxing ability and a questionable chin. He is the worst linear HW champion of alltime, outside of perhaps guys like Shannon Briggs or Hasim Rahman.

    Even if Haye got clocked, it's doubtful that Carnera had the power to take advantage of his shaky whiskers.
