    Up for grabs for me. I like some of the comments thus far made. Might be a good fight actually

    Tommy had far more power than Carnera, he knocked out Ruddock who would have destroyed Carnera in a round, no way could Carnera hook like Tommy.

    Foreman was better than Carnera in every way and would have stopped him in a round, Cooney in his late 30`s punched far harder than Carnera.

    Tommy comes inside, and beat the stuffing out of the big man up, staying inside his long jab.

    You've made it quite clear you believe EVERYONE stops Carnera in A ROUND. You sound like a damn child and I have no patience for discussing boxing with a child. Unlike others, I actually use the ignore function and don't look back.

    Pretty Ironic, the guy calling people children puts someone on ignore merely because they (rightfully I might add) think one fighter is far better than another.

    The version that Morrison fought wasn't.

    Massive respect to Forman for coming back to win the lineal title at that age, but he was one of the weakest lineal champions of all time.

    No way could Carnera have stopped Moorer.

    I don't see why not, nor do I think that he would have needed to stop him to win.

    lol! Moorer was far more skilled and powerful than Carnera, he was trained by Steward for a long time.

    Tommy Loughran was the best technician of Carnera's generation, and Carnera just smothered him.

    He might well do the same to Moorer.

    You are using all the wrong arguments to make the case for Moorer here.

    Being a better technician or a harder puncher, is no guarantee of success against Carnera, if you are at a major weight disadvantage.

    You don't need to sell me the idea that Moorer had some good skills.
