    Is Schmeling allowed to foul Carnera at will like Baer was?

    When did Baer foul Carnera?

    Half the knockdowns were illegal trips or wrestles, ignoring the neutral corner rule, backhand punching (which Baer also did a lot of against Schmeling).

    Half is an understatement.

    Schmeling picks apart Carnera's jab, and then counters over the top with rights. Just like it did with Louis, it builds up. One-sided fight where Schmeling wins wide on the cards or TKOs him.

    This fight nearly happened a couple of times, but it would probably have been a bit before Carnera's prime.

    It was probably better for him that he had to wait, and got a slightly softer champion to challenge.

    I think schmeling can win. I wouldn’t bet money it but a decision is possible

    Do you think he would need to?

    If he had got down to business,I think Baer could have finished it inside 6rds.

    No it wouldn't. Riddick Bowe was a good fighter. Carnera hit hard and had a good jab, he was nowhere near the fighter Bowe was.

    Heck, a post-prime Schmeling knocked out Joe Louis, there's no way Carnera could beat him.

    You believe those wins were on the level?

    Yes, I haven't seen anything that would suggest any of his top wins was fixed.
