    GOAT Primo skips Rocky across the ring like a stone skips across water. Facts.

    As bad as Canera was Rocky’s disadvantage is exacerbated by Caneras size and strength. The guys that wrecked him were athletic taller fighters who could lunge and catch Primo with shots to the face. Rocky’s so short with stubby arms and not overly athletic that he ll have a hard time getting to canera. Primos weight and strength will be a big problem in clinches where he can throw Rocky around and keep him off kilter. Primo uses height and reach to get the powder puff jab in and maybe some clubbing power punches. It could be a draw or close win but doubt Marciano can kayo him so it goes to the cards and who knows maybe Marciano gets beat. Maybe not.

    Carnera's size could give Marciano some trouble but Marciano wins this one rather easily.

    If for nothing else , Carnera was known for his size, decent power and rare courage. He could well last the distance with Marciano on sheer courage alone.

    But none of his tools are enough for beating Marciano. Marciano would chop him down with a diet of body blows and either stop him late or win by wide considerable decision.

    Your analysis is why I think this will go the distance.
