    It's been the same old song for many many years.

    You can always tell when folks can’t disagree with me. They start saying I am dishonest.

    If that's your take away from this debate then you're being dishonest with yourself.

    There is evidence up to a level. Of course there is. Then he lost fights. Then he won fights.

    If everything Primo ever did was staged how did he ever lose? And when he lost to the best guy he ever fought, Joe Louis, primo was no easier to beat as a victim than Max Baer had been for Joe Louis.

    I rest my case too then. You can’t disagree with me on genuine results Carnera had.

    All you can say is it is dishonest to bring them up. It isn’t dishonest. If anything it is dishonest to make excuses as to why the results are not kosher.

    Why can't fixed fight work both ways? You'll actually make more money in a fixed fight when the heavy favorite takes a dive by betting on the underdog.

    You know Jake LaMotta admitted to throwing a fight. Fixed, the gamblers made $$$, then later on he got his title shot.

    Carnera was not an average fighter. He won significant matches.

    Double standard time, didn't Jack Johnson have a purse withheld too and claim he was in fixed fights too?
