    Although Primo's size and jab may keep Frazier at bay for a while, I think Joe takes this one by late stoppage or decision.

    Simon gets killed.

    is it possible for carnera to win this fight? simon put up a brilliant fight against louis the first time the second time he was blasted(although if you watch the film he laughs at the reffs decision to stop the fight)are you sure frazier kills him?could he pull off the upset of the century?

    Simon looks very slow and not so busy on film to me. He was big, strong and had heart, but I really think he's out of his league against Frazier. He looked good in his first fight against Louis, but remember Joe defended his title 7 times in 1941, and I'm guessing that he didn't even know anything about half the men he was stepping in with, nor even taking much time to recover between fights. He fought Simon again later, and annialated him. Simon was twice beaten by a man named Lem Franklin who I felt deserved the shot before him, but never got it.

    When Frazier got a hold of Carnera, early or late... And he WOULD get a hold of him... He'd chop him down unmercifully.

    Carnera had a bad habit of getting up when sanity would keep anyone else down. Look at the Baer fight. Ridiculous.

    look at the post title i think carnera and abe would beat frazier 2 against 1 is pretty hard

    i think frazier would have too much stamina for them and would keep them at a hard pace and stop them late on

    I would expect Frazier to beat both but I get the idea that he would not look good doing it.

    They would both draw the fight out and give him some problems.

    If Jack Sharkey had watched out for it better he would have salvaged the dignity of loosing his title by decision or TKO.
