    He maybe level with Vitali but definitely not with Wlad IMO.

    amateur experience and training. talent. physical ability. technique.

    basically everything apart from having gangster managers fixing the fights. and prob a better chin than wlad tbf.

    anyone who thinks carnera is even worth discussing could also think hulk hogan was the greatest fighter ever.

    :lol: :lol:

    So much wrong with this post, but I think I'll start with the K2 bros weren't uncoordinated feather-fists, despite being heavily muscled, 6'6" 260 pounds.

    Also this would have a lot more weight if Louis was the only one to beat Carnera in his prime....

    For similar reasons Dave Allen wasn't as good as Alexander Povetkin.

    Extremely tall boxers differ vastly from one another in athleticism and technical ability, just the same as boxers of other heights do.

    Don’t know if Carnera was even as good as Russian yeti Valuev let alone Wlad an Vitali who were maybe in the top 15 h2h heavyweights ever.
