Willard by pace and exhaustion. Dunno why big men get such love except Jess, must just be the optics of Dempsey but Willard had a heck of a tank for a big guy and everything else is well with in the norms of big man game. For my money Jess is only beat by the best of the big dudes, Lewis, Wlad those sorts, not ****ing Primo. Edit- bad habit, I know. I just mix expect and except a lot. dunno why.
Willard by KO I've voted. Jess was the more durable , he'd take the best of Primo and dish it back. Willard ko rounds 11-15
What ? Why people are voting in Willard ? Willard had nothing but his supposed stamina because he endure sun heat. At close doors this wouldn´t help him... Carnera showed in a lot of footage he could jab and outmuscle you in the infighting, Willard didn´t show any of that not on the Johnson footage nor in nowhere... Carnera had a good power jab.
A benefit for a man with a deficit in no way translates to a deficit for a man with a benefit. You're saying Carnera fought under less harsh conditions as if that is somehow evens their stamina differences. Air conditioning works for Willard too ... Carnera showed his ability to be a figurehead and propaganda piece for fascists and little else. Let me know when Italy produces a HW champion without nationalists controlling the rating votes.
Primo Carnera gets so much attention on this forum and it is deserved and everything but what about the lesser-known Carnera? Preemie Carnera, the small Carnera who fought at flyweight and was born a little early?
I’m going to favor Carnera to win but not sure how. Much of it will depend on how long this is scheduled for
Willard’s the more natural fighter, and Carnera tries too hard to box prettily which I think he will pay for eventually.
Canera couldn’t hide behind his height and Willard had a good right hand. I think Jess stops him eventually.
