Is Primo really less skilled then Vitali?

Vitali looks like Lurch from the Addams Family but he's super effective. His whole system of fighting has a method to the madness and his record bears it out. Carnera 'seems' to be more organised but he's not a natural like Vitali nor is he as effective. You can see he's been drilled but he always looks somewhat robotic and tentative like a newbie dancer muttering 1-2-3-1 ... 1-2-3-1 under their breath as they stagger across the dance floor

 

Vitali.

 

Vitali had an excellent judgement of distance.Carnera's was crap.

 

Yesss. That is correct. Most people see how ungainly he looked but he could make blows miss by a whisker and be ready to immediately counter attack with his arm punching style.

 

My Granddaughter's here right now. I showed her your post. Both of us enjoyed it!

(EDIT: Spelling correction.)

 

She's cool. I hope you guys have a good time together. I miss my grandparents ...

 

That never stops. At 97, I still miss mine, too.

 

Their styles had some similarities, but I think Vitali was harder to hit flush and tied a man up better.

 

They both look like ****.

 

After watching that,,,, I'll agree he ain't that far off.

 

While you are hoping it does...I am over here...very much hoping that it does.

 

That way, my world view would be proven correct, once again.

 

Both look robotic to me.
Vitali just has a bit more depth and toughness about him.

 

I think both men depended on their size, once that failed Carnera as in the Baer fight he was toast. Vitali did too, used his size to control distance.
