Primo Canera vs ty fields

From film it appears that Carnera could throw a decent jab
and it appears, against Louis and Baer, he had durability-if not a defence.
So...

 

If you think that Carnera couldn't box then you need to watch more footage of him.

It comes down to this at the end of the day:

While the quality of the top three heavyweight in two seperate eras can varry considerably, the quality of the lower half of the top ten is generaly prety constant between era's.

You might find an era where Paulino Uzcdun or Eddie Chambers would not crack the top 3 in the Ring Magazine Rankings but you would not find an era in which either of them would not crack the top 8.

By the same token you are never going to find an era where Tye Fields becomes a world beater.

 

KTFO STILL one of the worst posters I've ever seen. Dickhead.

One of the worst threads ever as well to be honest, I've seen footage of both. Fields would not have survived the overhand right that Baer poleaxed Carnera with, nor the constant knockdowns and supposed broken ankle Carnera would suffer from there on in.

Sharkey had a better chin than Fields. Carner might find it hard to punch up, but I'm sure he'll clobber Fields with something and put him away, probably within three rounds.

Carnera at least fought some of the most dangerous Heavyweights ever. Fields is a joke.

 

WTF are you talkin about?!?!? Thick ****.

 

So when did you last see Tye Fields hook off the jab?

 

Carnera, while accused of having his fights fixed was more talented than Fields, which says more about Fields than Carnera.

 

Valuev/McCline/Grant maybe better Modern v Old examples
