Could Rocky survive Primo's power? Or would his crouching style lead him onto Primo's deadly uppercut and render him senseless on the canvas?
Please tell me you`re talking about Balboa! Marciano had far more power than the clumsy ham fisted Carnera and a far better chin, being bigger doesn`t give you a better chin, Louis proved that, the fightes that hit Marciano a lot ha fast clever hands like Walcott and Charles, leave the half a lump out of this elite equation.
like the one that was sponsored by the mob…….and gave you that beautifull (and certainly not fake) ko of sharkey??
Carnera isn't as bad as people make out, but he's not on Marciano's level. He may even start out relatively competitively, but I think the longer the fight goes on the worse things get for him until disaster.
The 80+ pound weight disadvantage actually would be a problem, along with the fact that Primo was weirdly mobile. Loughran had a similar height/weight gap, and he wasn't a come-forward slugger with T-Rex arms.
Rocky looks crap against Primo for Period s of the fight .It takes him at least 8 round s to get going against the giant .But he does ..and stops primo in around 10
That’s a fair and balanced call! Much better than looking at ATG placement and saying Rocky would destroy him, or the size discrepancy and saying cruiser weight Rocky gets destroyed. I see it similar to you Primo would frustrate Rocky early, but he would keep chiseling away and stop Primo late.
