    The size difference would be absolutely crazy lol
    But what makes it fascinating is that Burns would probably have the mentality to go for it.

    Burns is type of opponent Carnera had his most success with. Thats when he had overwhelming size advantage. He could lean back from punches from a much smaller fighter and throw them around in the clinches. Burns was tough he might survive but Primo gets the decision.

    Carnera is just going to be too big.
