    Primo gets sold short sometimes, pardon the pun.

    Well, Carnera lost to some guys who were under 6 foot. I think he lost to 5'9 or 5'10 Jim Maloney who wasn't a great fighter.

    Good find :good

    A 12 year old Robert Wadlow would have been too much for Sam Langford or Rocky Marciano.
    I know they were great fighters but size has to factor in somewhere surely. :D
