Max Schmeling vs Primo Carnera

Post by DrDuke »

The missing matchup of the late 20s - the 30s era.

Whom would you pick and why?

Either Schemling by decision or late round stoppage or Carnera by decision or late round stoppage.

I'd pick Schmeling. Carnera had the range and a solid jab, but he always remained open. He could look solid early, but then Schmeling's counter rights would do the business. Max by decision or late KO.

Schmeling would probably win this, mostly likely by a late round stoppage. Would be fairly competitive for a while.

Schmeling would take a UD, in all likelihood though it'd turn into quite the ass whooping toward the end.
