Canera Vs. Willard: Who would win? Who would care?

At 6'6'' and 250lbs, Willard is the tallest heavyweight champion as he defeated Jack Johnson in a 26th round knockout under 100 degree weather. He was immense and powerful, but slow and clumsy. His skill was questionable.

At 6'5" and 270lbs, Canera beat Jack Sharkey in a 6th round knockout and his size was colassol. He had an 85" reach, 15" fists and was considered a giant during the 30's, as he was continuously being shown in fights with much smaller men, to exaggerate his height.

Both men huge and powerfully strong. But Canera was "The Ambling Alp" and Willard was...well not championship material. Who would win if these two ever fought? Both were too slow and dull. But power was great.

I think Willard would have the edge.
