    Carnera was treated like a circus clown because he was 6'5-6 and weighed 250lbs, which was monstrous during that period of much smaller heavies, so if AJ who is built similar to Carnera was a contender during Carnera`s prime how would he have been treated?

    There is no way AJ would have the same musculature if he was around in Carnera's time. Look at old photos of him, then see the way he has gained the mass. Improbable levels of growth, especially for a 6'5" man.

    OK, but AJ is 6'6 like Buddy Baer and was not 6'5.

    I
    I see. AJ is similar to Baer in the way that they were not similar. Makes perfect sense.

    Sorry, I wrote that wrong, basically AJ may have been built like Buddy and they were the same height.
