Primo Carnera vs the contenders

And still nobody acknowledges Primos performance against Walter Neusel...

 

Says it all really. Carnera was one legitimate fighter.

 

if the era was so lacking, how come the greatest heavyweight of them all (Joe Louis) lost to a champion of this era? Or do you think Joe Louis himself was badly lacking?

 

Unranked Neusel quit.

 

What this didn't take into account is when Carnera fought them.
Neither
Uzcudun
Godfrey
Neusel
Campolo
Lasky
Were ranked at the time .
Schaaf was a dead man walking
Gains beat him.
This leaves Light heavyweight Loughran who couldn't punch his way out of a paper bag and was out weighed by a whopping 84lbs!
King Levinsky who had managed to win just one of his last 6 fights.
That's your myriad of world class contenders!

 

He was exhausted and busted up.

 

He was an unranked back number after Schmeling beat him up.

 

Anyone claiming Tua beat a myriad of world class fighters?

 

Bottom line you made statement and I challenged it.

 

No he was not a back number. Neusel went off and won another twenty or so fights. He was 43-3 when he met Primo. Walter was coming off a win over 33-1 British champion who had beat Larry Gains! You are so far off line here.

 

No I won my point,and you lost yours.
