    Baer was a bar room brawler type..how would he defeat a crisp super heavyweight?Carneras record and skills speak for themselves..rest assured nobody with less skill then him would even be ranked today.

    Practically all the top guys he beat were better fighters then carnera.Carnera wouldn't beat cunninham.All the lhw and cruisers Primo fought would never step in the ring with fury,at least Carnera was hittable.

    The funny thing is, is that both gave up their height and reach advantages far too often.
    Fury looks more co-ordinated, smoother. Carnera moved better and may have a better jab.
    We know Carnera didn't have a great chin but on the other hand Fury's chin doesn't seem all that solid either.
    On the face of it, I can't pick an obvious winner.
    I'd lean towards Fury since there are questionmarks about the legitimacy of some of Primo's wins.

    On film neither look terrible but neither look all that good either.

    Fury has basic combo abilty he throws in bunches ,Carnera throws single shots at a time and leans back,he has no footwork to speak off..you are not going to win a fight on a single stiff jab and predictability,fury is a good combo puncher,mover and mixes thing up..carnera was a walking robot.Where does fury give up reach?Carnera throws punches by leaning backwards,that is giving up reach.

    I wince when I think of the carnage Baer would inflict on Fury.

    As for this fight, I lean toward Carnera based on his better resume, but a Fury win is possible.

    point me in a fight that Baer was in showcasing technical boxing? He won by swarming his opponents with sloppy punches coming up from below his waists....Fury would laugh at him.

    Fury has given up his reach when he has chosen to fight inside.
    But whatever...Carnera was a 'manufactured' fighter whereas Fury seems more of a natural but there are a lot of questionmarks about Fury still. His fight with Wlad should answer a few at least.

    Fury is a very good inside fighter,why would a lumbering 6'5 guy have an advantage over a guy who didn't really just on distance to win?Carnera didn't even have a background in or on a amateur level,as you stated hes manufactured ,he was a weight lifter not a fighter..fury is levels over him.


    Yes his fight with Wlad should answer questions but nothing to do with this match up,thats for sure.Wlad could k.o fury in 2 minutes ,its still has nothing to do with what carnera has to offer.

    Show me a fight where Fury demonstrated he could survive a puncher of Baer's caliber. Baer wouldn't need "technical boxing". He could probably have *** in the dressing room, and still win, because that's how mediocre Fury is.

    See you have no video proof,while all of furys fights or at least past few ones shows a very technical boxer,you can only play the "well can he take a punch game"...well I know todays HW's hit harder than baer and Fury has never been k.od but will be in oct. to a guy who hits three times as hard as max ever could dream of...so we'll leave it at that.

    I love the way you just ignore being corrected.
    It's as though you had never made such idiotic statements in the first place.
    Levinksy, who the f*ck was he?


    You make asinine statements and get corrected, yet come back without a trace of embarrassment after being proved a fool

    .Do you know something ?
    There's no pleasure in humiliating you.It's too f*cking easy!:patsch

    if im correct you said Carnera would beat fury,you sure im the one being embarrassed?His record is good because he never fought anyone.He didn't fight anyone because he was a weight lifter who would lose to anyone remotely ranked 50 today!:yep

    Levinsky?:smooch

    You're describing Vitali Klitshcko.

    Please stop talking about Fury like he's some ultra-slick defensive master. There is nothing technical about his fighting at all, he's a very limited fighter who throws wide looping inaccurate punches, and has terrible movement, similar to how you describe every boxer that existed before 1980. The only aspect of his fighting that impresses me is his hand speed.
