    Character matters. In a fight between these two, I'll go with the better man, the one who never was arrested for armed robbery, never assaulted a cop, never worked as a leg breaker for a corrupt union. Joe Louis had his faults but he never threw a fight. That's why I'll take him over the other guy.

    Watching those " highlights " it's certainly understandable why Joe Louis damn near killed him

    Why is Primo Carnera compared to a prime Liston?

    Why are you so down on Primo Carnera? The man did beat Jack Sharkey

    Louis crushes him, he's a different type of animal and a better fighter...
