    If Carnera was born the same year as Foreman would there have been any yeat during the 70`s that he would have been champ? I feel every champ in the 70`s would have destroyed Primo.

    Yes, towards the end of that decade, when the top players were very beatable.

    He would probably have beaten Leon Spinks, or brain damaged Ali.

    No. Even if he could beat zombie Ali he would not beat spinks, and Norton,Holmes,young would have beaten him in 1978. Shavers would ko him

    I mean, Leon Spinks won the title in 1970s. He was far worse fighter than Carnera.

    He was far worse and threw more shots.
