    Who left behind more as a:
    a) Heavyweight
    b) Athlete (Boxing & Kickboxing for Vitali and Boxing & Wrestling for Primo)
    c) Figure in popular culture/ in the eye of casual audience (books, media coverage etc.)

    Carnera had a book and had 2 films made based on his story,he appeared in several films ,and was a hit as a wrestler.Vitali went into Ukrainian politics.
    It's Carnera by a clear margin.
    H2H Vitali beats him to a pulp ,but the quality of their resumes aren't far apart.
    The difference being nobody paid any of Vitali's opponents to lay down, as far as we know.
