    I don`t think Carnera was more powerful than Kovalev, which of Carnera`s opponents could Kov have beat and could he have done better v Primo than a lot of 'the ambling alp`s' opponents?

    Louis, Baer, Sharkey, Gastanaga. He loses all the others.

    I think it extremely unlikely that he would do better against any of them.

    Geez, can you be a little more specific? How many of us know anything about most of Carnera's opponents?
