Primo Carnera in today's Heavyweight Division

The division is bad enough that he could have a version of the title imo ,but the Brothers Grim beat him.

 

Carnera would rank number 3 perhaps. Right behind the Kilt bros.

I dont see Sam Peter, Haye, or any one else beating Primo.

 

Don King would get him a belt but take all his money!

 

That sounds awfully similar to what happened to him in the 30's.

 

It is!

 

Wow, Don King was fleesing folks back then?

 

No but only because he wasnt in a position to.

Of course there have always been Don Kings in the sport but they should have been eradicated by now.

 

Not that's today's division is great, but I don't think he'd do to well. Valuev, terrible as he is, is both bigger and somewhat more skillful IMO.

 

I think he'd be a journeyman/fringe contender, unless he again had the assistance of corrupt promoting.

 

Valuev can hardly move in that ring lol.

I think Carnera's jab and movement would carry the day in this fight imo.

 

Journeyman

 

Carnera wasn't the poor fighter many historians make him out to be. I think he was good enough to be a top ten guy today, but I would not pick him to defeat Klitschko, Povetin or Chagaev.

Carnera had a shaky chin for a big guy. This divsion might not rank as one of the best decades of all time, but pretty much everyone in the top ten can punch.

 

He would beat a lot of guys....The Klitschkos would beat him but Primo holds his own the rest are not punchers like Louis,Baer
