Primo Carnera vs Mitch Blood Green

Let's not pretend he couldn't box, the guy was a 4 times Golden Gloves winner.

 

That's why I said "his pro career".

As a pro, nothing actually stands up for Green. When all is said and done, Green is no more than Johnny Paycheck who was also a golden gloves winner but whom actually fought for the title as a pro.

Are you suggesting Paycheck has a stronger resume than Primo Carnera? What are you demonstrating here? Or that paychecks pro career equals Mitch Green pro career?

Can you dispute Mitch Green and Paycheck were both better amateurs than they were pros?.

 

Mitch Green was exactly the type of second-rater Carnera gets scrutinized for beating.
A good New York amateur he was unconvincing in the pro ranks. Strange fellow too.

 

Mitch beats Primo in a tough unanimous decision type fight.

 

What other guy with a career best win over Jumbo Cummings beats any world champion?

 

Yes, Mitch was a bit of an odd chap.

 

It wasn't his career best win, but Renaldo Snipes could beat a couple of fighters that were champions in the past 40 years.

 

Contenders not champion. Unless the guy was called Larry Holmes, Micheal Spinks or Mike Tyson everyone else was a contender. Those belts meant nothing.

 

Michael Spinks was champ for a second, Mike Weaver and Tim Witherspoon were legit.

 

I used to like Galvatron! Free him!

 

He goes by the handle Juggernaut somewhere else. Go talk to him!

 

Carnera was actually pretty consistent, up to the point that the opposition reached his own level, or better than his own level.

Green is the kind of fighter that he would have taken care of business against.

 

Nobody is disputing Green's chin.

We just question whether he had anything much else!
