    Thats not really fair, Carnera broke his ankle in the 1st round, its a lot easier to get knocked down with a broken ankle wouldn't you say??

    As some of you well know, I have a complicated matrix of deterministic algorithms into which I enter the most crucial factors of heavyweight boxing in order to arrive at a ranking of the best. As most of this science is well beyond the capacity of the inhabitants of this board, I will not delve to far into actual sum functioning. Suffice it to say that the factors most crucial to heavyweight boxing are as follows:

    Shreddedness
    Modernicity
    Jherri Curl
    Slickness
    Bicep Curl Max

    The Carnera-Tucker match was a close one indeed with Carnera's great bicep curl max, but Modernicity and Jherri Curl held him back. The winner, and actually the greatest heavy ever is, in fact...

    Hey, Dave Jaco brutally KO'd Razor Ruddock and would beaten 90% of Louis' title opponents. I will stand for no besmirching of his good name.

    Him and Mitch Green must have shared tips. A Tomorrow's Champion thing, I guess.

    Well Primo was slightly different to Tucker. He suffered from gigantism and acromegaly, due to an overactive pituitary gland.

    I think Primo and similar heavyweights like Abe Simon and, recently, "Sugar" Nikolai Valuev are somewhat similar.They possessed great physical strength .At the same time their power was not as explosive as the best athletes in the sport.I think being dosed excess growth hormone through their lives made their bone structure not as efficient.Maybe they lacked compact joints....
