    He was a super heavy with lots of heart and a good KO record. He blasted Jack Sharkey out and even against Max Baer, managed to out box him for many rounds. Carnera is not the oaf many make him out to be and would be formidable in today's division.

    He is clearly vastly under rated by his most ardent critics, both then and now.
