Obviously, none of these guys are legends. They all certainly had some bad moments. However, Carnera did have some respectable wins; Sharkey, Loughran, Uzcudun.

For once you and I are in agreement as to the ranking of these four heavyweights.

Not as good as the modern larger heavyweights in Bowe, Lewis, Klitschko, Klitschko, and Fury.

Not like as good as Joshua, Joyce, Hrgovic, or recent super heavyweight gold meal winning Jalovov either.
