Primo Carnera vs the Klits/Fury

[margaret thatcher]

Who takes these battles of the big men?

Primo vs Vit
Primo vs Wlad
Primo vs Fury

Each of them stops Carnera. Vitali and Fury possibly by TKO. Wlad most likely by KTFO.

I couldn't even imagine the beating he'd take from any one of them. Maggie I have to ask. Did someone taut Primo as an ATG or something? Just a weird set of matchups.

Just curious what the regulars here think of these intergeneration big man matches. I've looked from old posts in other sections and you get plenty of posts like these, ex from a Primo vs Vit thread, Bert Sugar also said he'd pick Primo over both Klits but we know how he leans lol

Vitali can't punch like Baer, and he gassed the one time he was matched with a fellow brute he couldn't bully. Carnera would outlast him down the 15 rd stretch.

Klitschko could not stop any decent in the early rounds. He would be just as wide open for Carnera's jabs and crosses. Very evenly matched fight; could go either way. Almost for sure would go into the late rounds if it doesn't go the distance. Would have been ugly to watch.

Klitschko didn't do anything better than Carnera.

Carnera would probably outjab him and win a close (and ugly) decision.

I guess I'm wrong as everyone thinks this is easy fight for K, but I think this is a competitive fight. Carnera was as big as K and Klitschko has had trouble with taller guys. Carnera fought better people and I don't think near as much of it was fixed as has been made out to be.

I'm sure Klitschko is the favorite but I don't see him as any lock.

I missed those comments as well. That's a pity. It's good, that they are refreshed now, cause Alp was at his finest there.
